👉 In organic chemistry, a process of chemical modification where an amino group (usually the 20th carbon in the alkyl chain) is replaced with a carboxylic acid group. This process can be used to create new compounds that have unique functional groups and properties. Benzoyl chloride, for example, is a common compound that undergoes this transformation. Benzoyl chloride is produced by reacting benzene with dilute sulfuric acid in the presence of a catalyst such as potassium
