Names for Chemicals

Names are not unique:

p-Benzoquinone, 2-methyl- (8CI) p-Benzoquinone, 2-methyl- (8CI) p-Toluquinone Methyl-p-benzoquinone Methyl-1,4-benzoquinone Methylbenzoquinone Methylquinone Toluquinone (VAN) Tolylquinone

WLN: L6V DVJ B1 1,4-Toluquinone 2-Methyl-p-benzoquinone 2-Methyl-1,4-benzoquinone 2-Methyl-1, 4-quinone 2-Methylbenzoquinone 2-Methylbenzoquinone-1,4 2-Methylquinone 2,5-Cyclohexadiene-1,4-dione, 2-methyl- (9CI)

Names can usually be interpreted; current systems are proprietary, closed and opaque.
