Abstract

Correction for ‘Transition metal-catalyzed direct remote C–H functionalization of alkyl groups via C(sp3)–H bond activation’ by Guanyinsheng Qiu, et al., Org. Chem. Front., 2015, 2, 169–178.


In this review, two important contributions reported by Sahoo and co-workers were not included in the text.1,2 As part of the scientific research community, we should respect every contribution. The details, which should have been included on page 8 of the original manuscript, are as follows.

In 2012, Sahoo and co-workers developed a novel and reusable directing group, S-methyl-S-2-pyridyl-sulfoximine (MPyS). This directing group could facilitate acyloxylation of primary β-Csp3–H bonds under mild conditions. Interestingly, sequential bromination/chlorination and acetoxylation were achieved with the assistance of the MPyS group by slightly changing the reaction conditions.
