Abstract

Abstract Tetraorganogallate complexes, prepared in situ by addition of an organolithium reagent to a triorganogallium, reacted smoothly with α, β-unsaturated compounds to give Michael addition products in high yields, and mixed gallates display very high chemoselectivity in the transfer of one of their ligands.
