Scheme 2 is incorrect. The correct version of Scheme 2 is given below:

Scheme 2 (i) H₂SO₄, MeOH; (ii) C_nH_2n+1Br, Cs₂CO₃, butanone; (iii) KOH, EtOH/H₂O; (iv) DCC, DMAP, CH₂Cl₂; (v) Pd/C, THF (for R = benzyl); anisole, CF₃COOH, CH₂Cl₂ (for R = tert-butyl); (vi) B₂H₆, THF; (vii) PBr₃, CH₂Cl₂.

In addition, in the acknowledgements, Benjamin Hernach synthesized ligand L5 (not L3).
