2-Methylhydroquinone Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Chemical Properties

white solid

Uses

Antioxidant, polymerization inhibitor.

Definition

ChEBI: A member of the class of hydroquinones that is hydroquinone in which one of the benzene hydrogens has been replaced by a methyl group.

General Description

Methylhydroquinone is produced by the oxidation of o-cresol by the mutants G103S, G103S/A107G, and G103S/A107T.

Purification Methods

Crystallise the quinone from EtOH. [Beilstein 6 IV 5866.]
