Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(99)00179-3

Triorganogallium and -indium reagents reacted with α,β-unsaturated nitrile and carbonyl compounds to give 1,4-addition products regioselectively. The reaction of allylgallium and allylindium sesquihalides with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds proceeded
