This is a video to prove Tom from Explosions and Fire wrong! No, not really.. ..
But I am making a precursor to succinimide from MSG, which is pretty cool.

0:06 that shows you need potassium persulflate and silver? I didn't see you use? Okay the temperature was relatively low for a decarboxylation maybe you didn't need it, but would it help catalize other decarboxylation reactions, in place of copper chromate for instance?

Very nicely done, I didn't know that was possible with glutamic acid! These crystals you got in the end are massive and look really nice! Did you have a microscope camera for that shot at 7:22?

Watching you stir it with a mercury thermometer makes me whince.
