The times are changing: A batch process, the Minisci epoxidation, is transformed into a continuous‐flow protocol for the selective aerobic radical epoxidation of alkenes. The use of a novel reactor type allows to considerably shorten reactor residence times. Experimental results suggest that two different reaction mechanisms exist for the oxidation: one for the batch conditions and a different one for flow synthesis protocol.
