Abstract
Correction for ‘A mechanistic insight into the organocatalytic properties of imidazolium-based ionic liquids and a positive co-solvent effect on cellulose modification reactions in an ionic liquid’ by Ryohei Kakuchi et al., RSC Adv., 2017, 7, 9423–9430.
The structure of cellulose depicted in the Graphical Abstract (now updated) and Scheme 1 were incorrect. The correct version of Scheme 1 is shown below:

The graphic associated with Table 3 was similarly incorrect and the correct version is reproduced below:
