32. Reference 6b reports the only example of an asymmetric Michael-type addition reaction between acetaldehyde and a nitroolefin (nitrostyrene) in water that we have found in the literature: 10 mol% of organocatalyst yielded 13% of Michael addition product after 18 h of reaction time. This methodology does not include any other aldehyde donor.
