We report an unprecedented photochemical oxygen insertion reaction into an aromatic quinone methide. Insertion happens specifically within a C-C bond, whereas the quinone methide moiety remains intact itself. Detailed mechanistic studies, supported by DFT calculations, support a pathway in which the -QM plays a pivotal activating role.
