We report a rare case of alkene transfer hydrogenation using a main‐group compound instead of a transition‐metal complex as catalyst. We disclosed that 1,4‐cyclohexadiene can be used as H 2 surrogate towards olefin reduction in the presence of [IPrGaCl 2 ][SbF 6 ]. Hydrogenative cyclizations have also been carried out because this cationic gallium complex is also a potent hydroarylation catalyst.
