Chemical compound

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.

1,2-Benzoquinone is produced on oxidation of catechol exposed to air in aqueous solution or by ortho oxidation of a phenol. It is a precursor to melanin. It is a red substance soluble in water and insoluble in ethyl ether.

A strain of the bacterium Pseudomonas mendocina metabolyzes benzoic acid yielding 1,2-benzoquinone (via catechol) as the final product.
