Reported　here　is　a　general　visible-light-induced　Paterno-Buchi　reaction　between　anthraquinones　and　olefins　lead　to　the　formation　of　diverse　anthraquinone-based　spirocyclic　oxetanes　which　served　as　an　important　scaffold　in　natural　drugs　and　products.　This　approach　negates　the　need　for　UV　light,　thus　overcome　the　synthetic　limitations　of　the　traditional　Paterno-Buchi　reaction.　Therefore,　the　method　reported　here　is　characterized　by　high　regioselectivity,　simple　operations,　mild　conditions　and　broad　scope.
