When you reacted Benzoic acid with NaOMe in diethyl ether, what was the organic product and how was it formed? Pick one answer. No reaction occurred because both starting materials are stable. B) Toluene and carbon dioxide through a decomposition process. (C) The conjugate acid of Benzoic acid because NaOMe is a strong acid and protonates. Sodium benzoate because the strong base (NaOMe) deprotonated the moderate acid (benzoic acid).
