Abstract
Correction for ‘The first computational study for the oxidative aromatization of pyrazolines and 1,4-dihydropyridines using 1,2,4-triazolinediones: an anomeric-based oxidation’ by Mahya Kiafar et al., RSC Adv., 2016, 6, 102280–102291.
In the original article, the authors incorrectly summarise the outcome of their study in both the Abstract and Conclusions section. In order to clarify the results of the findings of their study, the authors wish to notify readers about two changes to the text. Firstly, in the Abstract section, it should be highlighted that the aromatization of 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoline and 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives occurs by a common stepwise oxidation via the hydrogen abstraction–addition mechanism i.e., the reaction proceeds in a stepwise, rather than a concerted manner. Similarly, in the Conclusions section, the authors wish to clarify that, due to the lower (ΔG#) in the stepwise reaction than the concerted pathway, the ABO mechanism does not pass through a common concerted oxidation mechanism.
The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
