A thioxanthone‐catalyzed 2,2,2‐trifluoroethoxyamination of olefins is developed via the formation corresponding alkoxy and iminyl radicals using unprecedented, easily prepared, bench‐stable oxime ethers as bifunctional reagents. To bypass possible side reactions (1,2‐Hydrogen Atom Transfer (HAT), H‐abstraction, β‐scission), high reactivity radical fine‐tuned to promote selective challenging a COCH 2 CF 3 bond. This reaction, involving triplet energy transfer process, allows concomitant CN COAlk bond, so far uncharted, ether Hence, difunctionalization myriad electron‐rich alkenes selectively afforded anti‐Markovnikov products with large functional group tolerance (44 examples, up 77% yield), offering straightforward complementary regioselectivity compared existing approaches for 2,2,2‐trifluoroethanol. Post‐functionalization mechanistic investigations provided key insights into reaction mechanism this transformation.
