Erratum Silver-Catalyzed Synthesis of Nitriles from Carboxylic Acids and Cyanamides

The authors of this research article unintentionally omitted previous work by Professor Guodong Zhang and co-workers, in which they reported the iron-catalyzed transformation of carboxylic acids to nitriles with electron-deficient N-cyano-N-aryl-arylsulfonamide (NCTS), which was published one week earlier than this research article was submitted. The authors did not recheck the references before final publication rendering inadvertent overlook. The authors thank Prof. Guodong Zhang for pointing this out and apologize for omitting this relevant work.The reference to Prof. Guodong Zhang’s work is added in the following place of the article:‘The Ren group and the Chen and Zhang Group recently reported decarboxylative nitrogenation of carboxylic acids to access nitriles respectively (Scheme [1c]).19 However, these methods either have limited substrate scope or need a large amount of catalyst.’The missing reference is added as reference 19 (c) to the reference section:(19) (a) Shen, Z.; Liu, W.; Tian, X.; Zhao, Z.; Ren, Y.-L.
