Easy does it : Easily handled and environmentally safe oxone generates singlet oxygen which effects the simple and selective oxidative de‐aromatization of para ‐alkyl phenols 1 into para ‐peroxyquinols 2 under very mild conditions with good to excellent yields. A one‐pot access to para ‐quinols 3 from 1 is also possible after treatment of the crude reaction mixture with sodium thiosulfate.
