Correction to: Nature Catalysis https://doi.org/10.1038/s41929-018-0106-5, published online 23 July 2018.

In the version of this Article originally published, four important papers for transition metal/chiral anion asymmetric catalysis and 1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-disulfonate (BINSate) were erroneously omitted. These have now been added into the reference list at numbers 33, 43, 57 and 58, and the list renumbered accordingly:

58.Mayer S. & List B. Asymmetric counteranion‐directed catalysis. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 45, 4193–4195 (2006).

The text has been amended to include citations to these references as follows:

“Hybridization of organocatalysts with transition metals is an emerging method in asymmetric catalysis31–35” now includes the new ref. 33: “Hybridization of organocatalysts with transition metals is an emerging method in asymmetric catalysis31–36”.

“In this Article, we report the enantioselective conjugate addition of aromatic C–H bonds to α,β-unsaturated ketones catalysed by Cp*Rh(iii)/BINSate42,43 (BINSate = 1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-disulfonate) (Fig. 1d)” now includes the new ref. 43: “In this Article, we report the enantioselective conjugate addition of aromatic C–H bonds to α,β-unsaturated ketones catalysed by Cp*Rh(iii)/BINSate43–45 (BINSate = 1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-disulfonate) (Fig. 1d)”.

“The combination of a chiral anion and a cationic metal catalyst is an established catalytic system, especially in gold(i) catalysis32,54” now includes the new refs 33, 57 and 58: “The combination of a chiral anion and a cationic metal catalyst is an established catalytic system, especially in gold(i) and palladium catalyses32,33,56–58”.
