Some incorrect values were given for reaction times and temperatures. The authors apologize for the errors in Table 1, entry 1 and in the text referring to that entry. The correct reaction time for the conversion of phenyl acetate to 2-hydroxyacetophenone under microwave conditions was 2 minutes rather than 3 minutes, and under oil bath heating at 65 °C, the time required was only 1.5 hours instead of 6 hours.

In addition, the column header indicating the units of time for the microwave reactions was inadvertently changed to hours; the correct unit is minutes. The editorial office apologizes for this mistake.
