Herein we disclose a metal‐free and efficient method for the direct conversion of 2‐propynolphenols to biologically important flavones using aqueous HI as the promoter. This transformation was proved via 4‐iodo‐2 H ‐chromenes intermediate, which was simultaneously conversed to corresponding flavones by a C sp2 −I bond cleavage and a C–O bond formation under air.
