Aryl trifluoromethoxylation by a two‐step sequence of O‐trifluoromethylation of N‐aryl‐N‐hydroxylamine derivatives and intramolecular OCF 3  migration is presented. This protocol allows easy access to a wide range of synthetically useful ortho‐OCF 3 aniline derivatives. In addition, it utilizes bench‐stable reagents, is operationally simple, shows high functional‐group tolerance, and is amenable to gram‐scale as well as one‐pot synthesis. A reaction mechanism of a heterolytic cleavage of the NOCF 3 bond followed by recombination of the resulting nitrenium ion and trifluoromethoxide is proposed for the OCF 3 ‐migration reaction.
