A novel method for the preparation of aryl trifluoromethyl ethers which comprises reacting a phenol, a perhalomethane, and an antimony pentahalide. For example, 4-nitrophenol may be reacted with an excess over stoichiometry of both carbon tetrachloride and antimony trifluoride with a catalytic amount of antimony pentachloride to form 4-nitrophenyl trifluoromethyl ether.
