A Simple and Efficient Oxidative Coupling of Aromatic Nuclei Mediated by Manganese Dioxide

Compound 13b was named 3,4-dithia-dibenzo[c,g]phenanthrene throughout the article. Dr. Brian M. Eklov (Kalexsyn, Kalamazoo, MI 49008, USA) discovered that name and structure assigned in the article where wrong. The following corrections should therefore be considered:��Page 1084, right column, line 12/13 from the bottom and page 1089, right column, line 2 from the bottom: “3,4-dithia-dibenzo[c,g]phenanthrene (13b)” should be “dibenzo[a,h]thianthrene (13b)”.��Page 1086, Table 4, entry 6: The correct structure for product 13b is shown below:��

The authors thank Dr. Eklov for his kind notice and apologize for the wrong original assignment.
