1,4-Benzoquinone-d4, with the CAS number 2237-14-1, is a deuterated form of 1,4-benzoquinone, a cyclic organic compound characterized by a six-membered aromatic ring with two carbonyl groups at the 1 and 4 positions. This compound is typically used in various chemical research applications, particularly in studies involving reaction mechanisms and kinetics due to its unique isotopic labeling. The presence of deuterium (d4) indicates that four hydrogen atoms in the molecule have been replaced with deuterium, which is a stable isotope of hydrogen. This substitution can affect the compound's physical properties, such as its boiling point and solubility, compared to its non-deuterated counterpart. 1,4-Benzoquinone itself is known for its reactivity, particularly in oxidation-reduction reactions, and serves as an important intermediate in organic synthesis. It is also utilized in the production of dyes and as a precursor for various chemical compounds. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it can be toxic and irritating to the skin and respiratory system.
