Abstract

Retraction of ‘Efficient microwave-promoted acrylonitrile sustainable synthesis from glycerol’ by Vanesa Calvino-Casilda, M. Olga Guerrero-Pérez and Miguel Bañares, Green Chem., 2009, 11, 939–941.


We, the named authors, wholly retract this Green Chemistry article, as efforts to scale up the reported process using multiple approaches have revealed that the data cannot be reproduced.

The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience to authors and readers.
