I, as the corresponding author, retract the publication by Yanhui Shi et al. “Carbon–Sulfur
Coupling Reactions Catalyzed by Pd–NHC Complex” that appeared in Synlett 2011, 2090–2096.
The intellectual content and factual execution of this work is based on studies carried
out in the group of Professor Michael G. Organ at York University, Toronto, Canada
during a period prior to 2009, when I was his postdoctoral associate. It was submitted
without his prior knowledge and consent. I sincerely regret this serious error in
judgment.
