o-Quinone

Description:

o-Quinone, also known as 1,4-benzoquinone, is a cyclic organic compound characterized by its two carbonyl groups (C=O) located at the 1 and 4 positions of a benzene ring. This compound is a yellow to orange solid at room temperature and is known for its strong oxidizing properties. o-Quinone is soluble in organic solvents such as acetone and ethanol but has limited solubility in water. It is often used in organic synthesis and as a reagent in various chemical reactions, including the oxidation of phenols to form quinones. The compound exhibits a distinct aromatic character and can participate in redox reactions, making it valuable in biochemical applications and materials science. Additionally, o-Quinone can undergo polymerization and is involved in the formation of natural pigments and dyes. Due to its reactivity, it should be handled with care, as it can be toxic and irritating to the skin and respiratory system.

2-Benzoquinone

CAS: 583-63-1

2-Benzoquinone is a reactive molecule that is used in the cycloaddition process. It has been shown to react with hydrochloric acid and form methides, which are electrophiles that can attack double bonds. 2-Benzoquinone is also able to undergo redox cycling and hydrogen donation, which leads to its reactivity. There are kinetic data for 2-benzoquinone, including activation energies and group p2 kinetics for the reaction mechanism. This molecule is also reactive with body mass index (BMI) due to the steric interactions of groups p1 and p2 in 2-benzoquinone’s structure. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been used to identify hydrogen bond interactions between 2-benzoquinone and other molecules such as rat liver microsomes.
