The first catalytic use of Ga(0) in organic synthesis has been developed by using a Ag(I) cocatalyst, crownether ligation, and ultrasonic activation. Ga(I)-catalyzed C-C bond formations between allyl or allenyl boronic esters and acetals, ketals, or aminals have proceeded in high yields with essentially complete regio- and chemoselectivity. NMR spectroscopic analyses have revealed novel transient Ga(I) catalytic species, formed in situ through partial oxidation of Ga(0) and B-Ga transmetalation, respectively. The possibility of asymmetric Ga(I) catalysis has been demonstrated.

InIOTf has been uncovered as an effective Lewis acid catalyst for unprecedented nucleophilic substitution of acetals or ketals with allylboronates. A transmetalative SN1 mechanism is proposed in which a single InI center acts as a dual catalyst to activate both reagents sequentially. Contrary to the classic γ-selectivity of allylsilanes (Hosomi-Sakurai reaction), this InI-catalyzed borono variant displays distinct α-selectivity. Substrate scope and functional group tolerance proved to be excellent.
