Biological Activity: 2,6-Dimethylbenzoquinone (2,6-DMBQ) is a benzoquinone derivative. 2,6-Dimethylbenzoquinone promotes Photosystem II-mediated photoelectrochemical water oxidation via electron transfer between spinach chloroplast Photosystem II membranes and carbon paste electrodes, and accepts electrons from Photosystem II during oxygen evolution assays. 2,6-Dimethylbenzoquinone undergoes direct photolysis in aqueous solution under 365 nm conditions, producing 2,6-dimethylhydroquinone and 3-hydroxy-2,6-dimethylbenzoquinone[1][2].
