Reductive action of hydrazine hydrate on quinones was examined and systematic reduction was carried out on 16 kinds of various substituted quinones by which the corresponding hydroxyl compounds were obtained in a good yield. This reduction did not cause any side reaction even in quinones with functional groups and hydrazine hydrate was found to be a mild agent, better suited than the existing reducing agents.
