Metabolite Identification

Common Name

2,6-Dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone

Description

2,6-Dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone belongs to the class of organic compounds known as p-benzoquinones. These are benzoquinones where the two C=O groups are attached at the 1- and 4-positions, respectively. 2,6-Dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone has been detected, but not quantified in, common wheats (Triticum aestivum) and green vegetables. This could make 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 2,6-Dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone.
