Abstract

Correction for ‘The medicinal chemist's toolbox for late stage functionalization of drug-like molecules’ by Tim Cernak et al., Chem. Soc. Rev., 2016, 45, 546–576.


Clopidogrel (compound 105 in Fig. 10) was mistakenly drawn with a meta-chloro substituent whereas the actual drug has an ortho-chloro substituent, as shown in the corrected figure below. Since compound 105 was used as a hypothetical substrate with which to demonstrate the strategy of late-stage functionalization, the proposed reactivity of C–H bonds will be affected by this change. The correct structure with the updated hypothetical late-stage functionalization strategy is shown in the corrected figure below. The authors apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
