Electrochemical incineration of cresols: A comparative study between PbO2 and boron-doped diamond anodes [PDF]
, 2009 The electrooxidation of aqueous solutions containing 5 mM of o-, m- and p-cresol at pH 4.0 has been investigated using a flow filter-press reactor with a boron-doped diamond (BDD) under galvanostatic electrolysis. All cresols are degraded at similar rate

Reactivity measurement in estimation of benzoquinone and benzoquinone derivatives’ allergenicity [PDF]
Toxicology, 2016 Benzoquinone (BQ) and benzoquinone derivatives (BQD) are used in the production of dyes and cosmetics. While BQ, an extreme skin sensitizer, is an electrophile known to covalently modify proteins via Michael Addition (MA) reaction whilst halogen substituted BQD undergo nucleophilic vinylic substitution (SNV) mechanism onto amine and thiol moieties on ...

A visible-light-induced, metal-free bis-arylation of 2,5-dichlorobenzoquinone
Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2021 A metal-free protocol for the direct bis-arylation of 2,5-dichlorobenzoquinone with aryldiazonium salts is reported. The reactive salts are generated in situ and converted to radicals through irradiation with visible light.

Microsomal superoxide anion production and NADPH-oxidation in a series of 22 aziridinylbenzoquinones [PDF]
, 1989 Several 2,5-bis(1-aziridinyl)-1,4-benzoquinones (BABQs) can be activated to alkylating species by reduction of the quinone moiety. On the other hand, cytotoxicity of these compounds can be induced by redox cycling.
