An iodine‐mediated preparation of ortho ‐quinone methides ( o ‐QMs) from ortho ‐hydroxybenzyl alcohols by a C−O bond scission strategy is described. The in situ generated o ‐QMs were then employed for C−S bond formation by thio‐Michael addition of thiols to provide the ortho ‐hydroxybenzyl thioethers ( o ‐HBT) in moderate to excellent yields.
