Fluoroalkylated alkynes, which are versatile building blocks for the synthesis of various biologically active organofluorine compounds, were synthesized from easily available alkynyl halides and fluoroalkyl halides by visible-light photocatalysis. Addition of fluoroalkyl radicals to alkynes and subsequent dehalogenation selectively yielded fluoroalkylated alkynes.
