Ayush Gusain on Instagram: "This reaction is a classic organic chemistry process that selectively halogenates the alpha-carbon (the carbon next to the carboxyl group) of a carboxylic acid, producing an α-halo carboxylic acid, using a halogen (like Br₂ or Cl₂) and a catalytic amount of red phosphorus. This reaction works by converting the acid to a more reactive acyl bromide, which then enolizes and rapidly reacts with the halogen at the α-position, creating valuable intermediates for further syn
