The enantioselective organocatalytic Michael addition in aqueous solution was compared with the reaction performed under solvent‐free ball‐milling conditions. A range of pyrrolidine‐derived organocatalysts were tested in the addition of aldehydes to nitroalkenes. Both procedures afforded good yields, diastereoselectivities, and enantioselectivities. The best catalyst in aqueous media was O ‐lauroyl‐ trans ‐4‐hydroxyproline, whilst the ball‐milling technique was most‐efficient with α,α‐diphenyl‐2‐pyrrolidinemethanol trimethylsilyl ether.
