p-BENZOQUINONE 99% For Synthesis - 100 gm

Description

p-Benzoquinone by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Also known as 1,4-Benzoquinone, this organic compound is a quinone with a single benzene ring. The reagent is available as a yellow powder which is slightly soluble in water. It has a melting point of 115 C. While this reagent is stable under general conditions, it is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. Industrially, p-Benzoquinone can be prepared by oxidation of diisopropylbenzene via a reaction related to the Hock rearrangement. CAS No.: 106-51-4 Quantity Provided: 100 gm per bottle Molecular formula: C6H4O2 Molecular weight: 108.10 Assay: minimum 99 %p-Benzoquinone has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This reagent is involved in the organic synthesis of a variety of intermediates. It is mainly used as a precursor to hydroquinone, which is employed in photography and rubber manufacture as a reducing agent and antioxidant. 1,4-Benzoquinone additionally acts as a dehydrogenation reagent. It is employed in the synthesis of Bromadol and related analogues. As a toxic metabolite present in human blood, p-benzoquinone can be used to track exposure to benzene or mixtures containing benzene and benzene compounds, such as petrol. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
