2-Chloro-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone

Description:

2-Chloro-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone is an organic compound characterized by its quinone structure, which features a six-membered aromatic ring with two carbonyl groups. The presence of a chlorine atom at the 2-position and a methyl group at the 5-position contributes to its unique reactivity and properties. This compound is typically a yellow to orange solid, exhibiting moderate solubility in organic solvents such as acetone and chloroform, but limited solubility in water. It is known for its role as an intermediate in organic synthesis and can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and redox reactions. The compound's reactivity is influenced by the electron-withdrawing effects of the chlorine atom and the electron-donating effects of the methyl group, which can affect its stability and interaction with other chemical species. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks, including irritation to the skin and respiratory system.

CAS: 19832-87-2

2-Chloro-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone is a heterocyclic organic compound with the molecular formula CHClO. It is a crystalline solid that occurs in two forms, the alpha and beta forms. The alpha form consists of an asymmetric unit containing two fused rings, one with five carbon atoms and another with six. The beta form has a similar structure but the ring with six carbon atoms is replaced by a carbon atom substituted for sulfur. 2-Chloro-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone can be used as an emulsifying agent or to produce benzoquinone by oxidation of hydroquinone or by electrochemical reduction of methylene blue. This chemical also has been used as an electron acceptor in supramolecular chemistry studies.
