| Summary: | In order to extend the earlier work in the group,1 we endeavored to explore the ability of the terpene-derived pyridine N-oxide organocatalyst (+)-METHOX to catalyze allylations of non-aromatic, α,β-conjugated aldehydes with allyltrichlorosilane in CH3CN. This thesis describes the synthesis of 5 novel homoallylic alcohols of high enantioselectivities (≤ 96% ee).
