Abstract

Correction for ‘Remote meta C–H bond functionalization of 2-phenethylsulphonic acid and 3-phenylpropanoic acid derivatives’ by Atanu Modak et al., Chem. Commun., 2016, 52, 13916–13919.


The authors regret that the structure of compound 4b is incorrect in Scheme 5 of the original article. A corrected version of Scheme 5, in which the ketone functional group has been replaced by a sulfonyl group, in included herein.

Scheme 5 meta-Selective sequential hetero-diolefination of 2-phenylethanesulfonic acid derivatives.

Furthermore, Scheme 10 has two minor typographical errors. A corrected version of Scheme 10 is also included herein. In the reoxidation step, Ag(II) has been replaced by Ag(I) and in the C-H activation step, a surplus carbon atom between the ketone and secondary amine of the carboxylic acid by-product has been removed.
