Abstract

Correction for ‘Dendrimeric magnetic nanoparticle cores with Co-phthalocyanine tags and their application in the synthesis of tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyran derivatives’ by Mohamad Ali Zolfigol et al., New J. Chem., 2016, 40, 5071–5079.


The structure of the product is incorrect in Scheme 4 and in the table of contents image. The correct Scheme 4, showing the correct structure, is provided below.

Scheme 4 ACoPc-MNP catalyzed synthesis of tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyran derivatives.

The y-axis labels are incorrect in Fig. 2. The correct Fig. 2 is provided below.

Fig. 2 FT-IR spectra of the supporting production process of (a) Fe3O4@SiO2, (b) Fe3O4, and (c) Cl(CH2)3MNPs.

In Fig. 3, the y-axis is incorrectly labelled as “Absorbance” instead of “Transmittance”. The correct Fig. 3 is shown below.

Fig. 3 FT-IR spectra of (a) ACoPc and (b) ACoPc-MNPs.

In Fig. 4, the y-axis is incorrectly labelled as “Absorbance” instead of “Transmittance”. The correct Fig. 4 is shown below.

Fig. 4 FT-IR spectra for comparison of the synthesized catalyst by two methods. (a) Synthesis of the catalyst by a one-pot process by refluxing Fe3O4@SiO2, ClMNPs and ACoPc (method 1); (b) synthesis of the catalyst in two steps (method 2).

The y-axis labels are incorrect in Fig. 6. The correct Fig. 6 is shown below.

Fig. 6 XRD diffraction pattern of (a) Fe3O4, (b) Fe3O4@SiO2 and (c) ACoPc-MNPs.

In the Fig. 11 caption, the compound name is incorrect. Fig. 11 and the correct caption are shown below.

Fig. 11 The catalytic activity of ACoPc-MNPs in four cycles for the synthesis of 2-amino-4-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-7,7-dimethyl-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-chromene-3-carbonitrile.

The incorrect compound name is provided in the first sentence of the final paragraph on page 5076. This sentence should read:

To compare the efficacy of the ACoPc-MNP catalyst with that of amino phthalocyanine and Fe3O4@SiO2 for the synthesis of 2-amino-4-(4-chlorophenyl)-7,7-dimethyl-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4H-chromene-3-carbonitrile, we have presented the results obtained with the three mentioned catalysts in the condensation reaction of 4-chlorobenzaldehyde, dimedone and malononitrile in Table 4.

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