TMG is known to react violently with water and other compounds that are capable of providing labile and active ] (i.e. ]s).

Trimethylgallium may be prepared by the reaction of ] with ]. The less volatile diethyl ether adduct can be prepared by using ] in ether in place of dimethylzinc; the ether ligands may be displaced with liquid ammonia as well.<ref>{{cite journal | doi = 10.1073/pnas.19.3.292 | pmc = 1085965 | volume = 19 | issue = 3 | title = Trimethyl gallium, Trimethyl gallium etherate and Trimethyl gallium ammine | pages = 292–298 | year = 1933 | author = C.

Two forms of TMG are typically investigated: ] adducts or TMG itself. All are prepared by reactions of ] with various methylating agents. When the methylation is conducted with ] in ], the product is the poorly volatile diethyl ether adduct. As noted by TMG discoverers Kraus and Toonder in 1933, the ether ligand is not readily lost, although it may be displaced with liquid ammonia.<ref>{{ cite journal |author1=Kraus, C.
