Abstract

Correction for ‘Dithiolopyrrolones: biosynthesis, synthesis, and activity of a unique class of disulfide-containing antibiotics’ by Bo Li et al., Nat. Prod. Rep., 2014, 31, 905–923.


There were several errors in the structures of thiomarinols as depicted in Fig. 1 of the review: the length of the fatty acyl chain was misannotated, as was the oxidation state at C-4 of Thiomarinol D. The stereochemistry at C-4, which was rigorously proven by H. Shiozawa and S. Takahashi, J. Antibiotics, 1994, 47, 851–853, was not included. In Scheme 1, the length of the fatty acyl chain in thiomarinol H and J was also misannotated. These errors have been rectified in the revised figures below.
