The authors wish to point out a mistake in one of the ratios given in the third paragraph of the main text of the communication. The corrected sentence is as follows:

In MeOH/diglyme at 75 °C and 40 bar CO, the methyl ester was formed with a b : 1 ratio of 1.5 : 1 at rate of 200 moles (g Pd h)^-1.
