Antifungal Activity of Benzoquinones Produced by Tribolium castaneum in Maize-Associated Fungi
Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) adults produce 1,4-benzoquinone (BQ), methyl-1,4-benzoquinone (MBQ), and ethyl-1,4-benzoquinone (EBQ). These components are chemical defenses used as repellents and irritants, and BQ has a negative impact on the growth of ...

The title compound, C(6)H(6)N(2)O(2), was obtained as a product of an in vitro study of the metabolism of benzofuroxan. The molecule exhibits a amphi configuration of the oxime groups C=N-OH. One oxime group is involved in the formation of a strong intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond, while another links mol-ecules into zigzag chains along the c axis ...
