Abstract

Correction for ‘Redox-active ligand based Mn(I)-catalyst for hydrosilylative ester reduction’ by Soumi Chakraborty et al., Chem. Commun., 2021, 57, 12671–12674, DOI: 10.1039/D1CC05614J.

The authors regret that there was a minor factual error in the two sentences beginning, “During recent years…”, on lines 4–9 of the right column of the first page of the article. These two sentences should be replaced by the following corrected text:

“In addition, a few Mn-complexes were reported for silylative reduction of esters to alcohol although the mechanism was not well-explored.^23–26 Except for a very recent report by Royo and coworkers,²⁶ earlier protocols^{11,17–18,23–25} demanded the use of costly silanes such as phenylsilane and phosphine-based ligands, which are comparatively expensive and prone to degradation.²⁷”

The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
