After publication of our paper, we noticed that Scheme 2, Figure 3, and the accompanying text contained errors in the configurational assignment ((P)- or (M)-) of intermediates 2, 8 and 10. Also, the inverted configuration should be shown in Scheme 2. Although the overall findings and conclusions are in no way affected by these errors, we would nonetheless like to correct them. Note, that the sign of optical rotations shown throughout the Schemes, Figures and text in the paper and ESI for all compounds is not affected at all. The labels of intermediates 2, 8 and 10 should now read as follows (for simplicity, only the (P)-configured enantiomers described in the paper are shown):

(P)-(+)-2 → (M)-(+)-2
(P)-(+)-8 → (M)-(+)-8
(P,P)-(+)-10 → (M,M)-(+)-10

These corrections should be made in 6 places in the 6th paragraph of the paper and in the ESI.

The correct Scheme 2 should be:


The correct Figure 3 should be:
