General description

2-Chloro-1,4-benzoquinone is a quinone derivative. It is one of the intermediate formed during the degradation of 3,4-dichloroaniline in a dielectric barrier discharge plasma reactor. It is formed during lignin peroxidase catalyzed oxidation of 2-chloro-1,4-dimethoxybenzene. 2-Chloro-1,4-benzoquinone on dechlorination yields 1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene.

Application

2-Chloro-1,4-benzoquinone may be used in the preparation of chloro derivatives of prenylnaphthohydroquinone.

2-Chloro-1,4-dimethoxybenzene (2Cl-1,4-DMB) oxidation by lignin peroxidase (LiP) proceeds via the formation of the 2Cl-1,4-DMB cation radical as indicated by ESR and UV/vis spectroscopy. The products of the LiP-catalyzed oxidation of 2Cl-1,4-DMB were identified as 2-chloro-1,4-benzoquinone and the dimers dichlorotetramethoxybiphenyl and
