2, 5-Dihydroxybenzoquinones, when heated in water, react to form different types of compounds through dimerization. The features of this unique reaction were clarified using a model compound, 2, 5-dihydroxy-3-methyl-benzoquinone. The structures of the products were established by X-ray analysis and spectroscopic means.
