An efficient, transition-metal-free procedure for the N-arylation of amines, sulfonamides, and carbamates and O-arylation of phenols and carboxylic acids has been achieved by allowing these substrates to react with a variety of o-silylaryl triflates in the presence of CsF. Good to excellent yields of arylated products are obtained under very mild reaction conditions. This chemistry readily tolerates a variety of functional groups.
