Photoredox reactions of quinones are reviewed, that enable C−H bond oxidation at the vicinity of the excited quinone carbonyl and concomitant reduction of the quinone under photoirradiation. Mechanistic insights on the benzo‐, naphtho‐, and anthraquinones are discussed. Also the potential utilities in organic synthesis are described.
