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.

Application

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

Other Notes

may contain chloroacetic acid
