4. Similar to the authors, we use "organocatalysis" here in the broad sense. In other words, it does not have to be "asymmetric" to be organocatalysis.

14. For example, we conducted additions of 4-iodoanisole to two substituted arenes under the conditions used in Ref. [14] and obtained ratios very similar to those reported by Shi and co-workers in Ref. [1]: 1) addition to toluene: according to Ref. [1], 58 % yield, o/m/p, 57:23:20; according to Ref. [14], 27 %, 64:23:13; 2) addition to anisole: according to Ref. [1], 70 %, 63:23:14; according to Ref. [14], 52 %, 74:13:13.
