Quinone
Quinone is also called 1,4-benzoquinone or cyclohexadienedione. Quinones are oxidized derivatives of aromatic compounds and are often readily made from reactive aromatic compounds with electron-donating substituents such as phenols and catechols, which increase the nucleophilicity of the ring and contributes to the large redox potential needed to break aromaticity. Derivatives of quinones are common constituents of biologically relevant molecules. Some serve as electron acceptors in electron transport chains such as those in photosynthesis (plastoquinone, phylloquinone), and aerobic respiration (ubiquinone). Quinone is a common constituent of biologically relevant molecules (e.g. Vitamin K1 is phylloquinone). A natural example of quinones as oxidizing agents is the spray of bombardier beetles. Hydroquinone is reacted with hydrogen peroxide to produce a fiery blast of steam, a strong deterent in the animal world. 1,4-Benzoquinone, commonly known as para-quinone or quinone, is a chemical compound with the formula C6H4O2. 1,4-Benzoquinone is found in barley, olive, and anise.

1,2-Benzoquinone
1,2-Benzoquinone is a reactive electrophile that is an intermediate in benzene metabolism. It is substrate for the enzyme Catechol oxidase (EC 1.10.3.1) and can be generated from the oxidation of catechol. 1,2-Benzoquinone is capable of reacting with blood proteins to produce adducts. 1,2-Benzoquinone, also called ortho-benzoquinone or cyclohexa-3,5-diene-1,2-dione, is a ketone, with formula C6H4O2. It is one of the two isomers of quinone, the other being 1,4-benzoquinone. O-Quinone is found in tea.
