With 2‐hydroxyphenyl‐functionalized enaminones and thiophenols as the starting materials, the facile synthesis of 3‐sulfenylated chromones has been realized through a KIO3‐catalyzed domino reaction of C−H sulfenylation and subsequent C−N‐cleavage‐based C−O bond formation. The reaction was performed under transition‐metal‐free conditions in ethyl lactate, a bioavailable ecofriendly medium.
