Description

2,3,5,6-Tetramethyl-1,4-benzoquinone (Duroquinone)

Leverage 2,3,5,6-Tetramethyl-1,4-benzoquinone (Duroquinone, CAS No.: 527-17-3, CAT No.: SRCT-027) as a powerful oxidant and redox-active reagent for your organic synthesis and biochemical studies. This tetra-methylated benzoquinone, known for its strong electron accepting properties, is commonly used as a mild oxidizer, electron transport agent, and intermediate in the preparation of dyes, pigments, and advanced functional materials. Its quinone structure readily participates in redox processes, making it integral for photosynthetic research, electrochemical devices, and as a biochemical probe.

Duroquinone is typically supplied as a light yellow to orange crystalline powder, with high purity and excellent solubility in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but limited solubility in water. Its robust oxidative power and characteristic absorption at 270 nm (ε ~24,500) make it essential for analytical chemistry, sensor development, and mechanistic studies involving electron transfer.
