|Section2= |Section3= }} Hydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone, also called hydroxy-''para''-benzoquinone, is an organic compound with formula , formally derived from 1,4-Benzoquinone by replacing one hydrogen atom with a hydroxyl (OH) group. It is one of three hydroxybenzoquinone isomers and one of the simplest hydroxyquinones. The compound is often called 2-hydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone, but the "2-" prefix is superfluous since there is no other hydroxy derivative of 1,4-benzoquinone. The IUPAC name is 2-hydroxycyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione. It is formed by the reaction of 1,4-benzoquinone with hydrogen peroxide and is a byproduct of the metabolism of phenols, such as 1,2,4-benzenetriol. The enzyme 1,2,4-benzenetriol dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of 1,2,4-benzenetriol to 2-hydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone, and the enzyme hydroxybenzoquinone reductase catalyzes the reverse reaction. The enzyme 2-hydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone-2-reductase converts it to 1,4-benzoquinone. It tends to dimerize spontaneously by peroxo bridges.〔 ==See also== * Tetrahydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
