Abstract
Background: This review updates the field of enantioselective organocatalytic Michael reactions performed in aqueous media, covering the literature since the beginning of 2013.
Conclusion: From a green chemistry perspective, this review shows that significant efforts have been recently devoted to the development of these reactions in water and in aqueous media.
Keywords: Asymmetric Michael reactions, organocatalysis, aqueous media, water, green chemistry, chirality.
