Abstract
Retraction of ‘Deoxygenative cross-electrophile coupling of benzyl chloroformates with aryl iodides’ by Yingying Pan et al., Org. Biomol. Chem., 2019, 17, 4230–4233, https://doi.org/10.1039/C9OB00628A.
The Royal Society of Chemistry hereby wholly retracts this Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry article due to significant errors in the compounds reported in the paper. The authors have brought to our attention that the secondary benzyl chloroformate substrates reported in the paper through the reaction of alcohol with triphosgene were actually benzyl chlorides. As a result, the subsequent reactions reported using these substrates to prepare products 2a, 3a, 4a, 5a, 6a, 7a shown in Fig. 1, 8a–19a in Fig. 2, and compound 20 in eqn (2), are inaccurate. The authors are therefore retracting the paper to maintain the validity of the scientific record.
