Palladium-Catalyzed Synthesis of 3-Indolecarboxylic Acid Derivatives

Söderberg BjörnC.G.. Banini SergeR.. Turner MichaelR.. Minter AaronR.. Arrington AmandaK.. Synthesis  2008,  903 

Entries 8-10 of Table 1 contained several errors: the yields of compounds 10 and 11 were switched and the nitrogen atom in the ring of compound 12 was misplaced. The correct entries are shown below:

Table 1 Synthesis of 3-Substituted Indoles

Entrya,b	Nitroarene	Nitroalkane	Nitroalkene	Indole
8c		10 (5%)	21 (68%)	31 (79%)
9c		11 (57%)	22 (58%)	32 (96%)
10c		12 (9%)	not further examined
a For procedural details, see the experimental section. b Isolated yields are shown in parentheses. c Compounds 10-12 were obtained from the same reaction in the yields given.

In addition, compound 10 should be 11 and vice versa throughout the entire paper. On page 904, column 1, 7th/8th line from the bottom, the end of the sentence should read as follows:
”… three 3-nitropyridine products 10-12 in an ˜1:11:2 ratio (entries 8-10)." The correct name of compound 12 in the experimental section should be ”Butyl 2-[6-(tert-Butoxy)-3-nitro-2-pyridyl]ethanoate".The authors apologize for the mistakes.
