Abstract
Retraction of ‘Thiourea dioxide promoted efficient organocatalytic one-pot synthesis of a library of novel heterocyclic compounds’ by Sanny Verma et al., Org. Biomol. Chem., 2011, 9, 6943–6948, https://doi.org/10.1039/C1OB05818E.
The Royal Society of Chemistry hereby wholly retracts this Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry article due to insufficient product characterization data being provided to support the conclusions. In the article, the authors stated “The purity of the products was identified by1H NMR spectroscopy”. However, 1H NMR spectra were not provided for all of the reported compounds. In addition, some of the 1H NMR spectra and the MS spectrum reported in the supplementary information appear to be copied from the SDBS database. The authors are unable to provide any original characterization data to support the results reported in the article.
Given the significance of the concerns regarding the authenticity of the NMR and GCMS data, and the lack of raw characterization data, the findings presented in this paper are no longer reliable.
All authors were informed about the retraction. Suman L. Jain accepts the decision to retract. The other authors did not respond.
