The functionalization of hydrocarbons by selective oxidation is of great technical importance. Two new, effective reagents, (perfluoroalkyl)oxaziridines 1a, b , hydroxylate the CH bonds at tertiary C atoms with high selectivity and in good yield. It remains to be seen if they are more economical and efficient than the tried‐and‐true dioxiranes and RuCl 3 /NaIO 4 .
