Alkylation of Cyclohexanone

Correction: Methyl iodide bond is not normally polarized. C and I electronegativity are too similar. The bond is polarizable. Which eventually results in the same effect as if it were polarized, only it first requires encountering a molecule which can make it that way. It seems that this is a common mistake, considering halogens are normally known for their electronegativity.

Happy easter! You are blessed by a new video. This time, some half-disastrous organic synthesis (yay). I'm working on two other projects now which are even more disastrous so i have to see when that will be done :-).
