The (hetero)aromatic trifluoromethyl group is present in many biologically active molecules and is generally considered to be chemically stable. In this paper, a convenient one-step synthesis of C-C linked aryl-heterocycles or heteroaryl-heterocycles in good to excellent yields via the reaction of anionically activated trifluoromethyl groups with amino nucleophiles containing a second NH, OH, or SH nucleophile in 1 N sodium hydroxide is reported. The method has high functional group tolerability and is potentially useful in parallel synthesis.
