Defn: Pertaining to, or derived from, glycol; as, glycolic ether; glycolic acid. Glycolic acid (Chem.), an organic acid, found naturally in unripe grapes and in the leaves of the wild grape (Ampelopsis quinquefolia), and produced artificially in many ways, as by the oxidation of glycol, — whence its name. It is a sirupy, or white crystalline, substance, HO.CH2.CO2H, has the properties both of an alcohol and an acid, and is a type of the hydroxy acids; — called also hydroxyacetic acid.
GLYCOLIDE
Gly"co*lide, n. Etym: [Glycol + anhydride.] (Chem.)
Defn: A white amorphous powder, C4H4O, obtained by heating and dehydrating glycolic acid. [Written also glycollide.]
GLYCOLURIC
Gly`co*lu"ric, a. Etym: [Glycol + uric.] (Chem.)
Defn: Pertaining to, derived from, glycol and urea; as, glycoluric acid, which is called also hydantoic acid.
GLYCOLURIL
Gly`co*lu"ril, n. Etym: [Glycolyl + uric.] (Chem.)
Defn: A white, crystalline, nitrogenous substance, obtained by the reduction of allantoïn.
GLYCOLYL
Gly"co*lyl, n. Etym: [Glycolic + -yl.] (Chem.)
Defn: A divalent, compound radical, CO.CH2, regarded as the essential radical of glycolic acid, and a large series of related compounds.
