Description

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.
