A useful element of the O-carbamate is its proclivity for anionic ortho Fries rearrangement exposing a phenol that, upon triflation and Ni-catalyzed hydride reduction, also achieves its removal with retention of a new amide DMG for further DoM chemistry; see: Cai, X.; Brown, S.; Hodson, P.; Snieckus, V.

51. 3 (Fürstner, A.; Leitner, A.; Menendez, M. M.; Krause, H. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2002, 124, 13856) catalysis was ineffective and led to recovery of starting material.

High activity of NiClCpIMes may be attributed to the presence of a low-valent electron-rich metal center owing to a strongly Lewis basic, electron σ-donating carbene ligand whose steric nature accelerates the reductive elimination step, see: Bohm, V.
