A metal‐free protocol for the α‐benzoxylation of ketones has been developed by using terminal aryl alkenes as an arylcarboxy surrogate. Moderate to good yields were attained for a variety of propiophenones and acetophenones by using tetra‐ n ‐butylammonium iodide (TBAI) as the catalyst and tert ‐butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as the oxidant under ambient reaction conditions.
