Correction to: A simple, short, and flexible synthesis of viridiofungin derivatives (Journal of Organic Chemistry (2006) 71:16 (6185-6191) DOI: 10.1021/jo060931e)

It has come to our attention that Scheme 2 (page 6186) contained a typographic error whereby the lengths of the alkyl chains of the bromoalkene 10 and the nitrile reagent used in the synthesis of enone 4 were drawn incorrectly. The corrected Scheme 2 is shown below. Also, in the manuscript (Results and Discussion, line 2, page 6186) and Supporting Information (S5, line 6), where n-heptanenitrile was incorrectly written, n-octanenitrile was in fact used. The product of the reaction 4 was correctly named as 15-hexadecen-8-one in the Supporting Information (S5, line 1) and correctly characterized. (Figure Presented).
