Ref. 3D-FX59854

Product Information

• Name: p-Xyloquinone
• Synonyms: 2,5-Dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone2,5-Dimethyl-p-quinonePhlorone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: p-Xyloquinone is a molecule that belongs to the class of quinones. It has been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, which are due to the ability of p-xyloquinone to scavenge free radicals. p-Xyloquinone also inhibits electron transport chain reactions, thereby preventing oxidative damage. This molecule has been shown to exhibit redox potentials that are suitable for use as a coating material for surfaces or as an encapsulation agent in low light conditions. The reactive nature of this molecule means it can be used as a component in various chemical reactions. P-xyloquinone is soluble in organic solvents and can be purified by column chromatography or recrystallization from acetone and water.
