Micelles are supramolecular architectures that are assembled of amphiphilic molecules . Above the critical micellar concentration (CMC), surfactants with the appropriately designed hydrophilic head (neutral, anionic and cationic) and hydrophobic chain organize themselves in micelles . Micelles have been extensively studied  and their utility as nanoreactors is well-established . Various micellar morphologies can be obtained depending on the ‘packing parameter’ [56–61], which is defined as p = v/ao lc, where v is the volume, lc is the length of the hydrophobic chain and ao is the optimal area of the head groups . As a general rule, if p ≤ 1/3 spherical micelles are obtained, while cylindrical micelles, or the so-called worm-like micelles, form when 1/3 ≤ p ≤ 1/2. A typical micelle acquires a hydrophobic core that is able to accommodate hydrophobic catalysts, providing thermodynamic and kinetic control over chemical reactions . Moreover, carrying out reactions in such a hydrophobic core leads to a concentration effect for hydrophobic substrates, which ensures higher reaction rates than those performed in bulk . Besides, the structure of any micellar catalytic environment is governed by the arrangement of the amphiphilic molecules, creating, in many cases, a regioselective environment (Figure 1) that affects the outcome of some reactions .
