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.
