Thank you for your valuable inputs. Yes i did checked ether
parameters, diethylether have O-C (alkyl) bonding parameter as CC32A
OC30A CC32A. but i dont find a parameter related to C(aromatic)-O
bonding. similar one is tyrosine CA-OH1, but it may need validation on
torsion terms?? can you please provide me information on how to do
validation calculation systematically for bonding parameter as well on
charges?

Thank you for your time.

Look into the ether parameters.

As a first guess, I would just combine the H charge with the parent C.
But you'll need to do some basic validation of anything you do here.

Again, if you've got something covalently bonded to the protein, you
should parametrize it thoroughly using core atom types in the force
field, not mixing CGenFF types into protein residues.
