Transition metal catalysts are typically used for the hydrofunctionalization of unsaturated hydrocarbons, however, such reactions are time-consuming and may be challenging. Herein, the authors report the non-metallic BF3·OEt2-promoted multi-component, highly regioselective, and chemoselective hydrothio(seleo)phosphonylation of unsaturated hydrocarbons, which exhibits high yields and good substrate universality
