Abstract
The invention concerns a method for orthometalation of a carbocyclic aromatic derivative bearing at least an electron donor group, characterised in that it consists in reacting said carbocyclic aromatic derivative with an efficient amount of at least one alkaline metal in the presence of a compound of formula (I): RX, wherein: R represents a hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 20 carbon atoms which can be a saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched, acyclic aliphatic radical; a saturated or unsaturated, monocyclic or polycyclic cycloaliphatic radical; a saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched aliphatic radical bearing a cyclic substituent; and X represents a bromine or chlorine atom.
