Fluoroorganic　compounds　have　attracted　significant　attention　in　various　fields,　such　as　pharmaceutical,　agricultural　chemistry,　and　materials　science,　as　a　result　of　their　unique　physical,　chemical,　and　physiological　properties.　Consequently,　extensive　efforts　have　been　devoted　to　the　site-specific　synthesis　of　organofluorine　compounds.　In　recent　years,　transition-metal-mediated　C-F　bond　formation　has　emerged　as　a　powerful　method　for　fabrication　of　these　compounds.　this　Perspective　mainly　focuses　on　the　most　recent　advances　in　transition-metal-assisted　synthesis　of　alkyl　fluorides.　©　The　Royal　Society　of　Chemistry　2015.
