Efficient synthesis of p-quinols (2) using catalytic hypervalent iodine oxidation of 4-arylphenols (1) with 4-iodophenoxyacetic acid (3) and Oxone® was developed. Reaction of 1 with a catalytic amount of 3 in the presence of Oxone® as a co-oxidant in tetrahydrofuran or 1,4-dioxane–water gave the corresponding 2 in excellent yields.
