The authors of the above article noted an error in publication of this paper. In the experimental section, present on page 787, the optical rotation of (4S,10R)-avenolide (1) is incorrect. The corrected value is [α]23D=+29.82 (c=1.0, CHCl3), [α]23D=+52.63 (c=1.0, MeOH).

Therefore, this description should be ‘[α]23D=+29.82 (c=1.0, CHCl3), [α]23D=+52.63 (c=1.0, MeOH); IR (KBr) 3480, 2929, 2858, 1746, 1710, 1459 cm−1;’
