'''Duroquinone''' is an organic ] (C<sub>6</sub>(CH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>4</sub>O<sub>2</sub>). It is related to ] by replacement of four H centres with methyl (Me) groups. The C<sub>10</sub>O<sub>2</sub> core of this molecule is planar with two pairs of C=O and C=C bonds.<ref name=Kochi>J.-M. Lü, S. V. Rosokha, I. S. Neretin and J. K.
