Cu-catalyzed reactions of -alkoxy-2-methylanilines and alcohols in the presence of catalytic amounts of IPrCuBr and AgSbF afforded the corresponding -aminophenol derivatives in good to high yields. These reactions proceed via a [1,3]-rearrangement, in which the alkoxy group migrates from the nitrogen atom to the methyl-substituted ortho position, followed by an oxa-Michael reaction of the resulting -quinol imine intermediate.
