title: An unprecedented oxidative migration of a methyl group from 2-(2',6'-dimethylphenylazo)-4-methylphenol mediated by ruthenium and osmium.
abstract: An unprecedented chemical transformation of 2-(2',6'-dimethylphenylazo)-4-methylphenol has been observed upon its reaction with [M(PPh(3))(3)X(2)] (M = Ru, Os; X = Cl, Br) whereby one methyl group from the phenyl ring of the arylazo fragment migrates to the metal center via oxidation to CO.
