Definition
ChEBI: 2,5-di-tert-Butyl-1,4-benzoquinone is a member of p-quinones and a member of benzoquinones.
General Description
2,5-Di-
tert-butyl-1,4-benzoquinone (DTBBQ) is an 2,5-disubstituted quinone. It is an antibacterial compound. It has been isolated from marine
Streptomyces sp. VITVSK1. Pressure dependance on the intramolecular and intermolecular migration rates of Na
+ and K
+ in a 2,5-di-
tert-butyl-1,4-benzoquinone ion pair have been evaluated by using a high-pressure EPR technique.
Flammability and Explosibility
Flammable
