An electrochemical fluoroalkynylation reaction of aryl alkenes has been developed using fluoride ions and alkynyltrifluoroborate salts as the source of functional groups. The electric‐powered vicinal alkene difunctionalization reactions add a fluorine and an alkynyl group across the alkene regioselectively without the need for transition‐metal catalysts and oxidizing reagents.
