2,5-Di-tert-butyl-1,4-benzoquinone

Description:

2,5-Di-tert-butyl-1,4-benzoquinone is an organic compound characterized by its quinone structure, which features two tert-butyl groups at the 2 and 5 positions of the benzene ring. This compound is typically a yellow to orange solid at room temperature and is known for its stability and relatively low solubility in water, but it is soluble in organic solvents such as acetone and dichloromethane. It exhibits strong antioxidant properties, making it useful in various applications, including as a stabilizer in polymers and as a reagent in organic synthesis. The presence of the tert-butyl groups enhances its steric hindrance, which contributes to its stability and reduces its reactivity compared to other quinones. Additionally, 2,5-Di-tert-butyl-1,4-benzoquinone can participate in redox reactions, allowing it to act as an electron acceptor in various chemical processes. Its unique properties make it a valuable compound in both industrial and research settings.
