Abstract

Correction for ‘Efficient and rapid direct transesterification reactions of cellulose with isopropenyl acetate in ionic liquids’ by Ryohei Kakuchi et al., RSC Adv., 2015, 5, 72071–72074.


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:
