Unsaturated fatty acids, fatty acid esters, and terpenes are alkenic molecules that can be extracted directly from vegetable sources and converted into a broad range of intermediates, commodities, and high value‐added products by means of epoxidation reactions. Conventional stoichiometric epoxidation techniques using environmentally unfriendly oxidants are still performed at the industrial scale. However, several examples, at the laboratory level, show how it is possible to use more sustainable oxidants, such as alkyl hydroperoxides, hydrogen peroxide or, in the best cases, molecular oxygen, in the presence of catalytic systems. Homogeneous, heterogeneous, enzymatic catalysts or, even, metal‐free organocatalysts can help in avoiding the use of hazardous oxidants and noxious solvents and in performing an efficient, selective, and safe epoxidation of C=C bonds in oils, fatty derivatives, and terpenic compounds.
