Product Description of ‌1,4-Benzoquinone CAS#106-51-4

p-Benzoquinone is a yellow monoclinic crystal with a strong chlorine-like odor. It is commonly used as a chemical intermediate, polymerization inhibitor, oxidant, photographic chemical and tanning agent. It was first commercially produced in 1919 and later manufactured in many European countries. It is mainly applied to the production of hydroquinone, and also used as an intermediate for rubber accelerators and other chemical products. It is widely used in dye, textile, chemical, tanning and cosmetic industries, as well as in chemical synthesis, production processes and laboratory research. Occupational inhalation exposure may happen in industrial environments and from tobacco smoke.


Product Application of 1,4-Benzoquinone CAS#106-51-4

p-Benzoquinone is used as a dienophile in Diels-Alder cycloadditions to synthesize naphthoquinones and 1,4-phenanthrenediones. It acts as a dehydrogenation reagent and oxidizing agent in organic synthesis. In the Thiele-Winter reaction, it reacts with acetic anhydride and sulfuric acid to prepare hydroxyquinol triacetate. It is also applied in bromadol synthesis and inhibits double-bond migration during olefin metathesis. Additionally, p-Benzoquinone is a raw material for making hydroquinone which is widely used in photography, and it works as a reducing agent and antioxidant in rubber manufacturing.
