Fluorine-containing organic molecules are extremely important in several fields of chemistry, including agricultural, materials, and medicinal chemistry.  The syntheses of such molecules wherein the fluorine atoms or fluoroalkyl groups are placed at selected positions in a diastereo- and enantioselective manner have always remained a challenge.  We have been involved in the syntheses of fluoroorganic molecules via organoborane chemistry for over a quarter century.  In addition to past achievements, our current developments and their application for the syntheses of fluoro-analogs of bio-active natural products will be discussed.
