A simple, mild and highly efficient biomimetic oxidation of various alcohols and epoxides with N ‐bromosuccinimide (NBS) catalyzed by β‐cyclodextrin in water has been developed. A series of alcohols and epoxides were oxidized selectively at room temperature in excellent yields. This method is a direct one‐pot synthesis under mild conditions using water as solvent and has many advantages over the existing methodologies.
