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.

Degradation of aqueous 3,4-dichloroaniline (3,4-DCA) was conducted in a novel dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma reactor. The factors affecting the degradation efficiency of 3,4-DCA and the degradation mechanism of 3,4-DCA were investigated. The experimental results indicated that the degradation efficiency
