Radical fluoroalkylation by photoredox catalysis has emerged as a new synthetic methodology over the past several years. In particular, the strategy is useful for introduction of a fluoroalkyl group and a different functional group across a carbon–carbon double bond via a single operation. Step-economical synthesis of diverse organofluorine compounds has been achieved. In this paper, our recent studies on photoredox-catalyzed fluoroalkylation will be discussed
