Description

Tetrahydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone disodium salt is a reaction product of hydrogen peroxide and an alkali metal. It is a nucleophilic compound with a hydration rate that depends on the concentration of hydrogen peroxide. Tetrahydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone disodium salt reacts with amines to form radical species that can be detected by electron spin resonance spectroscopy. These radicals have been shown to be more reactive than the parent amine and can lead to enhanced reactivity in some cases.
