© 2018 Elsevier Ltd The authors regret that, in the published article, they have represented the product from 2-(naphthalene-2-yl)propan-2-ol (1g) as 1,3,3-trimethyl-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]naphthalene (wrong 4m). But the product could be assigned as 1,1,3-trimethyl-3-(naphthalen-2-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-cyclopenta[b]naphthalene (right 4m) using 500 MHz NMR on a JEOL JNM-ECA500 spectrometer because the three singlet peaks were found at 7.83 ppm and at 7.85 ppm (as two singlet peaks) in the spectrum. Thus, they wish to correct the structure of wrong 4m into right 4m in the manuscript. The reason for the selective formation of right 4m would be caused by the less steric hinderance at 3 position of naphthalene. The reference of proton data also agreed with the structure (right 4m).1 The data of the melting point (116–117 °C) was near to the data for wrong 4m (122–124 °C2) compared with the data for right 4m (colorless viscous liquid)1.
