Metal‐catalyzed hydrofunctionalization reactions of alkynes, i.e. the addition of E–H units (E = heteroatom or carbon) across the C≡C bond, are of key importance in modern synthetic chemistry. In recent years, haloalkynes have been successfully involved in these types of transformations, thus opening new atom‐economical routes for the generation, among others, of haloalkenes, a pivotal class of compounds for cross‐coupling processes. In particular, several catalytic systems able to promote the selective addition of C–H, O–H, N–H, S–H and X–H (X = halide) bonds to haloalkynes have been reported. This chemistry is comprehensively discussed in this Minireview article.
