p-Benzoquinone / 1,4-Benzoquinone (PBQ) is the basic structure of quinonoid compounds.They are widely distributed in the natural world, being found in bacteria, plants and arthropods and hence quinones are ubiquitous to living systems. Quinones play pivotal role in biological functions including oxidative phosphorylation and electron transfer.

Quinone is extensively used as a chemical intermediate, a polymerisation inhibitor, an oxidising agent, a photographic chemical, a tanning agent, and a chemical reagent.
1,4-Benzoquinone or p-benzoquinone is used in the manufacture of dyes, fungicide, and hydroquinone; fortanning hides as an oxidizing agent and inphotography.
