Finally going to test that toluic acid (carboxy methylbenzene) i made in a previous video. I should have recrystallized the toluic acid so i got a more accurate "actual yield". Admittedly i got a bad yield here but it is not the reaction. I should have got at least 70%. But the toluic acid was not pure to begin with. The amounts i was working with were small which usually yields a lower yield than usual. Plus i stopped the decarboxylation early cause it was making me paranoid that the can may leak and catch on fire.....etc etc................I did realize it is probably better to use the salt of the acid to start with. So in this case sodium toluate..........if it was benzoic acid then sodium benzoate would be better to start with.........BECAUSE the whole reason to put NaOH and the acid together is to make the salt anyways. That way you know you got a 100% conversion of the acid to the "salt of the acid"...........In the video above the NaOH has to find the toluic acid to make it the salt of toluic acid............SO WHY NOT JUST START OFF WITH THE "SALT OF THE ACID"
