Abstract

Correction for ‘Ligand design for Rh(III)-catalyzed C–H activation: an unsymmetrical cyclopentadienyl group enables a regioselective synthesis of dihydroisoquinolones’ by Todd K. Hyster et al., Chem. Sci., 2015, 6, 254–258.

In the original manuscript, we reported that Cp^tRh(III) complexes enable the highly regioselective coupling of simple alkenes with benzhydroxamate esters forming predominantly the products of 3-substituted dihydroisoquinolones. It has come to our attention that we misassigned the structures and the reaction provides 4-substituted dihydroisoquinolones (the product that we had initially assigned as the minor isomer has proven to be the major isomer). Thus, while the yields and regioselectivities as reported are unchanged, the assignment of the major isomer must be corrected.

Please see Table 1 below, which shows the correct isomer assignments. The information contained in Table 1 is a general example of the correct assignments that should be given, which covers all of the relevant experimental results and the tabulated data contained in the original article.
