2,5-dimethoxycyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dio
2,5-Dimethoxycyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione (Thermophillin) is a natural benzoquinone. Its redox cycling activity is studied in the context of brown rot fungal decay, where it contributes to Fenton chemistry by regenerating Fe2+ and H2O2, a key mechanism in wood biodegradation research.
