Novel bifunctional acyl-acceptant biphenyls bearing trifluoromethylated aroyloxy groups were successfully synthesized in high yields via TfOH-mediated electrophilic aromatic aroylation of fluorobenzene with CF(3)-bearing aroyl chlorides followed by nucleophilic aromatic substitution with 2,2'-biphenol. Similarly, 2,2'-bis(trifluoromethylphenoxy)biphenyl was synthesized via nucleophilic aromatic substitution
