2,6-Dimethyl-substituted anisoles can be converted into the corresponding 2-ethyl-6-methylphenols in a several-step reaction mediated by a TpMe2Ir(III) complex; use of the 13C-enriched anisoles, ArO13CH3, shows that the 13C label distributes across the two ethyl sites with a preference for the terminal position.
