Abstract
Correction for ‘Structural diversity, bioactivities, and biosynthesis of natural diterpenoid alkaloids’ by Yong Shen et al., Nat. Prod. Rep., 2020, 37, 763–796, https://doi.org/10.1039/D0NP00002G.
The authors regret that there are errors within the article, and the corrections are listed as follows:
(1) The inclusion of 4β-H for structural types A-2–A-4 in Fig. 1 is not clear, since the alkaloids with 4β-OR (R = H, alkyl, or acyl) groups were not taken into consideration. 4β-R (R = H, OH, alkyl, or acyl) groups, instead of 4β-H, is a better way to represent structural types A-2–A-4 in Fig. 1. The corrected figure is shown below:
 | ||
| Fig. 1 Classes of C18-diterpenoid alkaloids (rearranged classes: A-3–A-5). | ||
(2) After reviewing the two original references and corresponding NMR data, the alkaloids referred to as hemsleyaconitins and vimotenitins have the same chemical structure. The structure of skeleton B-8 (hemsleyaconitines) in Fig. 2 is incorrect, and should instead be B-9. Therefore, the skeleton B-8 has been deleted. The corrected Fig. 2 is shown below:
 | ||
| Fig. 2 Classes of C19-diterpenoid alkaloids (rearranged classes: B-6–B-11). | ||
(3) The structures of compounds 79, 80, 82, and 83 in Fig. 9 have been redrawn in the 8β-orientation instead of the 8α-orientation. The 8β-OR (R = OAc, OEt, OAs) groups in C18- or C19-DAs are presented according to the Dreiding molecular model. The corrected figure is shown below:
 | ||
| Fig. 3 Structures of alkaloids 79, 80, 82 and 83. | ||
(4) The structures of compounds 245 and 246 in Fig. 16 should be revised to 247 and 248, respectively. The original articles for compounds 245 and 246 (ref. 106 in the original article, ref. 1 here) and 247 and 248 (ref. 2) reported the same NMR data but different structures. The incorrect structures, compounds 245 and 246 in Fig. 16, have been removed. The corrected figure is shown below:
 | ||
| Fig. 4 Structures of alkaloids 240–251. | ||
(5) Ref. 57 should be removed from this sentence “Moreover, 19R-acetonyl-talatisamine (49) and hemaconitine D (50) share the same skeleton both bearing an additional-CH2COCH3 group at C-19, which this substituent may be an artifact of isolation and/or purification procedures. 47, 48, 57” on p. 770.
The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
