Abstract
This work demonstrates asymmetric synthesis of the GABA derivative (R)-baclofen and a new herbicidal mode-of-action inhibitor (3S,4S)-tetflupyrolimet featuring low loading (0.5 mol%) organocatalytic addition reactions of dithiomalonates to nitrostyrenes under "on water" conditions. Importantly, we observed that increasing the hydrophobicity of the catalyst does not guarantee improved catalytic performance under "on water" conditions and the trends in the catalytic efficiency of different HBD catalysts under "on water" conditions (with hydrophobic additives) align more closely with those observed in pure hydrophobic organic solvents. These findings propose a valuable tip for screening organocatalysts in developing asymmetric hydrogen-bonding catalysis under "on water" conditions.

Abstract
A visible light-induced C-C bond cleavage/addition/cyclization cascade of oxime esters and unactivated alkenes has been developed using water as the solvent. This green protocol offers an easy access to medicinally valuable cyanoalkylated quinazolinones. Mild reaction conditions, functional group tolerance and late-stage functionalization of complex molecules are the important features of this transformation.
