Page 9100. The structure of compound 2al (Scheme 2a) was assigned incorrectly. Recent X-ray diffraction analysis of a single crystal of 2al has shown that it is not the initially proposed compound, 2,6-diphenyl-1,5-dihydropyrrolo[2,3-f ]indole, but that it is geometrical isomer 2,7-diphenyl-3,6-dihydropyrrolo[3,2-e]indole (see below).1

The correction above does not affect the conclusion of the original article. We thank Wei Wen Tan and Dr. Yongxin Li (Nanyang Technological University) for assistance in X-ray crystallographic analysis.
