25. (b) Hayashi, Y. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2006, 45, 8103. Prof. Janda expressed his opinion in ref 6a that so far no real organocatalysis may be considered working "in water", since all of the organocatalysts used are specifically designed to be water insoluble with a large hydrophobic group, which accurately served as a "concentrated organic phase". For asymmetric Michael reactions in water by use of hydrophobic organocatalysts, see refs 3a-3f.
