The activation and cleavage of benzyl fluorides by the electrophilic organofluorophosphonium catalyst, [(C 6 F 5 ) 3 PF][B(C 6 F 5 ) 4 ], is reported and used for the preparation of 1,1‐diarylalkanes (37 examples) and substituted aryl homoallylic alkenes (14 examples). This procedure involves mild conditions, avoids harmful waste, and is compatible with a range of substituted arenes and allylic silanes.
