Visible‐light‐photocatalyzed methods employed in synthetic transformations present attractive properties, such as environmentally friendly, safety, availability and excellent functional group tolerance. Research on the visible‐light photocatalytic incorporation of the trifluoromethyl moiety into organic substrates has contributed to a clear evolution of the field of photocatalysis. Although this particular area is constantly evolving and has been reviewed, a number of seminal and significant photocatalytic trifluoromethylation examples have been reported in the last five years. These recent advances are here presented and discussed. For more details see the Review by A. Postigo et al. on page 11065 ff.
