CAS 106-51-4: Quinone

Description: Quinone, with the CAS number 106-51-4, is a cyclic organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and the presence of two carbonyl groups (C=O) in a six-membered ring. It is a yellowish solid at room temperature and is known for its strong oxidizing properties. Quinone is relatively stable but can undergo various chemical reactions, including reduction to form hydroquinone or further oxidation to produce more complex compounds. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone but has limited solubility in water. Quinone plays a significant role in biological systems, particularly in electron transport chains, and is involved in the synthesis of natural pigments. Its reactivity allows it to participate in numerous organic reactions, making it a valuable intermediate in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and other chemical products. However, due to its potential toxicity and environmental impact, handling quinone requires appropriate safety precautions.
