Exploring the chemical reactivity of triisopropylsilyl dialkynyl methanol for the synthesis of dialkynylcarbinol-related compounds

This paper of shame is still online, despite previous comments and proof of a conflict of interest undeclared by alleged corresponding authors, Mrs and Mr Genisson. ChemRxiv Curators and Editors, informed several times by e-mail, are thereby alerted again.

This article is surprising in the absence of Professor Remi Chauvin’ name as a corresponding author. The reported results are part of his own results and his 10-year long running research. Both the fundamental research and the applied fields, such as medicinal chemistry with anticancer chiral dialkynylcarbinol, come from Professor Remi Chauvin’s own contributions.

This post authored by former collaborators without my agreement is definitely irrelevant from both ethical and scientific standpoints. Beyond several misunderstanding of the project spirit, without any contribution to both the concept and dynamics, the two last alleged corresponding authors (Yves Genisson and his wife) have strictly no legitimacy on the initiative of this submission- with or without my name as main corresponding author at least. The project was indeed devised, rationalized, and experimentally developed in my own group until 2022. The imposture is incidentally illustrated by a recent invited talk on the topic, the abstract of which has been submitted to ChemRxiv by April 10 2024, 22:23, under the title: Lipidic Alkynyl Carbinols against Cancers and Tuberculosis, while declaring and detailing a clear conflict of interest.
