Benzyloxyacetic acid Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Colorless liquid

Uses

It is a compound for proteomics research use. It may be used for following synthesis mixed benzyloxyacetic pivalic anhydride, chiral glycolates, 1,2:4,5-di-O-isopropylidene-β-D-fructopyranos-3-yl benzyloxyacetate, via esterification, tetra aqua(1,10-phenanthroline-[κ]2N,N?)magnesium(II) bis[(2,4-dichlorophenyl)acetate], as ligand in the preparation of diaquabis(benzyloxyacetato)copper(II) complex.

Uses

Benzyloxyacetic acid may be used for the following syntheses:

• mixed benzyloxyacetic pivalic anhydride
• chiral glycolates, 1,2:4,5-di-O-isopropylidene-β-D-fructopyranos-3-yl benzyloxyacetate, via esterification
• tetraaqua(1,10-phenanthroline-[κ]²N,N′)magnesium(II) bis[(2,4-dichlorophenyl)acetate]
• as ligand in the preparation of diaquabis(benzyloxyacetato)copper(II) complex

Definition

ChEBI: (benzyloxy)acetic acid is a monocarboxylic acid that is benzyl alcohol in which the hydroxy group is replaced by a carboxymethoxy group. It is a monocarboxylic acid, an ether and a member of benzenes. It is functionally related to a benzyl alcohol and a glycolic acid.

General Description

In vitro activities of phenoxy and benzyloxyacetic acid derivatives as antisickling agents has been investigated by the application of quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) of Hansch-type.
