Gallium-mediated allylation and cinnamylation of 1,2-diones, such as the isatins (I), in the presence of LiBr and KI affords α-hydroxycarbonyl compounds. The reaction also takes place with aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, and aromatic 1,2-diones in moderate to good yields. — (NAIR, VIJAY; ROS, SINDHU; JAYAN, C. N.; J. Chem. Res., Synop.
