We present a practical trifluoromethyl‐directed Wacker‐type oxidation of internalalkenes that enables rapidaccess to β‐trifluoromethyl‐substituted ketones. Allylic trifluoromethyl‐substituted alkenes bearing a wide range of functional groups can be oxidized in high yield and regioselectivity. The distance dependence of the regioselectivity was established by systematic variation of the number of
