contained one error and that there were mistakes in the
chemical schemes for α3 and α4. Therefore, the following
corrections are made:
(1) Page 1397, right column, line 7: “32.9 (α3-m),” should
be “32.9 (α3-n),”
(2) Page 1397, right column, line 18: “α3-o are evident at δC
32.9/δH 0.92 (α3-m)” should be “α3-o are evident at δC
32.9/δH 0.92 (α3-n)”
The corrected Figure 1 is shown below:
The corrected Figure 4 is shown below:
The corrected Figure 5 is shown below:

solution of sample A (without acetone extraction) in CDCl3 at 900
MHz obtained with MWET-HSQC (red) and MWET-HMBC(black)
using the same suppressions described in Figure 3b. 13C spectra at 151

terminal structure suggested in this study. (c) Structures of α-
terminals (α1−α6) suggested in this study. The 1H/13C chemical
shifts of the α-terminals are provided in Table S1 (see the Supporting
Information (SI)).
