Herein a metal‐free fluoroalkylselenolation of alkylsilanes as well as potassium alkyltrifluoroborates under visible light photocatalysis is disclosed. The developed methodologies are performed under mild conditions, room temperature in the presence of an organic photocatalyst and blue LED irradiation. Mechanistic investigations including luminescence and EPR spectroscopy allow us to shed light on both mechanisms.
