2,5-Dihydroxybenzoquinones, when heated in water, react to form different types of compounds through dimerization. The features of this unique reaction were clarified using a model compund, 2,5-dihydroxy-3-methyl-benzoquinone. The structures of the products were established by X-ray analysis and spectroscopic means. - Key words: 2,5-dihydroxybenzoquinone; dimerization; furanylidene benzofuranone; 1,4-dibenzofurandione; X-ray analysis
