Strong main‐group Lewis acids such as silylium ions are known to effectively promote heterolytic C(sp3)−F bond cleavage. However, carrying out the C(sp2)−F bond transformation of vinylic C−F bonds has remained an unmet challenge. Herein, we describe our development of a new and simple strategy for vinylic C−F bond transformation ofα‐fluorostyrenes with silyl ketene acetals catalyzed by B(C6F5)3under mild conditions. Our theoretical calculations revealed that a stabilized silylium ion, which is generated from silyl ketene acetals by carboboration, cleaves the C−F bond ofα‐fluorostyrenes. A comparative study ofα‐chloro or bromostyrenes demonstrated that our reaction can be applied only toα‐fluorostyrenes because the strong silicon‐fluorine affinity facilitates an intramolecular interaction of silylium ions with fluorine atom to cleave the C−F bond. A broad range ofα‐fluorostyrenes as well as a range of silyl ketene acetals underwent this C−F bond transformation.
