2,5-Dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone is a quinone derivative. Its reaction with jack bean urease in phosphate buffer, pH 7.8 has been studied. It is present as one of the component of defensive secretion of opilionid Acanthopachylus aculeatus. It has been investigated as inhibitor of jack bean urease in 50mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.0. | [Synthesis]
2,5-Dimethyl-p-benzoquinone was prepared as follows:
Method 1: 80 g of 2,5-dimethylphenol was added to 300 mL. Dimethylformamide in 500 ml. The resin kettle oxidizer is provided with an air inlet, stirrer, thermometer and reflux condenser. 2.5 g of | [Purification Methods]
