Summary of main observation and conclusion Herein, unprecedented rhenium‐catalyzed decarboxylative oxytri‐/difluoromethylation and Heck‐type trifluoromethylation of styrenes have been developed by using hypervalent iodine(III) reagents derived from cheap, stable, and easy‐handling fluorinated carboxylic acids. Mechanistic studies revealed a radical decarboxylative trifluoromethylation pathway occurring in these reactions.
