Description

1,4-Benzoquinone, commonly known as para-quinone, is a chemical compound with the formula C6H4O2. In pure state, it forms bright yellow crystals with characteristic irritating odor, resembling that of chlorine; impure samples are often dark colored due to the presence of quinhydrone (1:1 complex of quinone with hydroquinone). This six-membered ring compound is the oxidized derivative of 1,4-hydroquinone. The molecule is multifunctional: it exhibits properties of a ketone, forming an oxime; an oxidant, forming the dihydroxy derivative; and an alkene, undergoing addition reactions, especially those typical for α,β-unsaturated ketones. 1,4-Benzoquinone is sensitive towards both strong mineral acids and alkali, which cause condensation and decomposition of the compound.

1,4-Benzoquinone is a toxic metabolite found in human blood and can be used to track exposure to benzene or mixtures containing benzene and benzene compounds, such as petrol. The compound can interfere with cellular respiration, and kidney damage has been found in animals receiving severe exposure. It is excreted in its original form and also as variations of its own metabolite, hydroquinone. Benzoquinone compounds are a metabolite of paracetamol.
