Method for preparing carboxylic acid derivatives by aromatic nucleophilic substitution, in which a carboxylic acid derivative having a single carboxyl functional group, or one of the salts thereof, the carboxylic acid derivative having, in the ortho position of the carboxyl functional group, a leaving group, which is preferably an atom of fluorine or of chlorine or an alkoxy group, chiral or not, preferably a methoxy group, the carboxylic acid derivative not being substituted by an electro attractive group other than the leaving group if any; is reacted with a reactant MNu, where M is a metal and Nu is a nucleophile, chiral or not, the aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction being carried out without a catalyst and without a step of protecting/deprotecting the acid functional group of the starting compound.
acids furnishing substituted naphthoic acids occurs in good to excellent yields upon reaction with alkyl/vinyl/aryl organolithium and Grignardreagents, in the absence of a metal catalyst without the need to protect the carboxyl (CO2H) group. This novel nucleophilic aromatic substitution is presumed to proceed via a precoordination of the organometallic with the substrate, followed by an addition/elimination
