Correction to Methods for the Synthesis of Substituted Azetines Andreas N. Baumann, Michael Eisold, Arif Music, Geoffrey Haas, Yu Min Kiw, and Dorian Didier* Org. Lett. 2017, 19 (20) 5681−5684. DOI: 10.1021/acs.orglett.7b02847 Page 1, last paragraph: “α-Lithiation of 2 assisted by coordination of the directing group (Boc) on the amine using s-BuLi in the presence of TMEDA triggers a βelimination (A, Scheme 2) and intermediary forms a 2-azetine (B)” should be rephrased to “As reported by Hodgson et al.,11 α-Lithiation of 2 assisted by coordination of the directing group (Boc) on the amine using s-BuLi in the presence of TMEDA triggers a β-elimination (A, Scheme 2) and intermediary forms a 2-azetine (B).” We would also like to add the following to the end of the Acknowledgments: “The authors thank Prof. David M. Hodgson (University of Oxford) for fruitful discussions.”
