Abstract
Retraction of ‘Boric acid in magnetized water: clean and powerful media for synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones’ by Vahid Khakyzadeh et al., RSC Adv., 2021, 11, 22751–22755. DOI: 10.1039/D1RA03769B
We, the named authors, hereby wholly retract this RSC Advances article. Although we maintain that the results obtained in distilled water are accurate, and believe that further experiments will confirm our conclusions, following discussions between the authors and the Royal Society of Chemistry, we have determined that the evidence presented regarding magnetised water in this paper is insufficient to support the conclusions and needs further investigation. We are therefore retracting the paper to maintain the validity of the scientific record. The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for the fact that these concerns were not identified during the peer review process.
