Abstract
Quinones having hydroxy groups directly attached to the quinone ring consti
tute a very interesting class of quinoid compounds. A great number of hydro
xyquinones are found in nature and the majority of them exhibit unique biol
ogical activity. Their syntheses and their main reactivity patterns are rev
iewed in this paper.
