In the following article's ESI, it seems that in situ decomposition of 2,5-Dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone (DHBQ) lead to the formation of oxalate under hydrothermal conditions.

Can someone explain the mechanism/pathway behind it?

Ref.: Science 374, 1464 (2021)

Please correct me if I am wrong by any chance.

Thanks in advance.
