4-dione,2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-5-cyclohexadiene-1 - Introduction
Duroquinone is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H4O2. It is a white to yellow crystal with a special smell. Duroquinone is stable at room temperature, but it is easy to decompose under the action of high temperature, light and oxygen.
Duroquinone has a wide range of uses. In organic synthesis, it is often used as an oxidant and catalyst. It can be used in the synthesis of organic compounds, dyes and drugs. In addition, Duroquinone can also be used as a bleaching agent in cosmetics and skin care products.
There are two main methods for preparing Duroquinone: one is obtained by oxidation of hydroquinone, and the other is prepared by reduction of benzoquinone. In the laboratory, it can be prepared by the reaction of hydroquinone with hydrogen chloride.
For safety information, Duroquinone is toxic and irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory system. Appropriate protective equipment should be worn during operation to avoid contact with skin and eyes. In addition, the Duroquinone should be kept away from fire sources and oxidants to prevent them from burning and exploding. When handling and storing Duroquinone, appropriate safety measures should be taken to ensure that relevant operating procedures and guidelines are followed.
