Tetraorganogallate complexes in organic chemistry: Michael addition to α, β-unsaturated compounds

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919908086045

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.
