Abstract

Correction for ‘Facile aromatic nucleophilic substitution (SNAr) reactions in ionic liquids: an electrophile–nucleophile dual activation by [Omim]Br for the reaction’ by Xiao Zhang, et al., Green Chem., 2016, 18, 5580–5585.

The authors would like to state that the sentence “To our best knowledge, there is no report on the SNAr reactions in ILs and exploring the activation mechanism of ILs in the transformation.” (page 5580) should be deleted.

This sentence should be replaced with “Although Welton et al. have mentioned the role of the anion's basicity in the reaction,1 there is no report on exploring the role of HBs in the transformation,” where the citation to ref. 1 refers to an additional reference which is listed below. This should be cited in the Introduction section of the original paper as ref. 2d.

The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
