A method for preparing aromatic carboxylic acid derivatives by nucleophilic aromatic substitution, involves reacting an aromatic carboxylic acid derivative supporting only one carboxyl function, or one of the salts thereof, the carboxylic acid derivative supporting, orthogonally to the carboxyl function, a leaving group which is a fluorine or chlorine atom or an alkoxy group, chiral or otherwise and, in the latter case, preferably a methoxy group; the carboxylic acid derivative being substituted by at least one electro-attractive group other than the leaving group, preferably by a fluorine atom, with a MNu reagent, wherein M is a metal and Nu an optionally chiral nucleophile, the nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction being carried out without a catalyst and without a step of protecting/unprotecting the acid function of the initial compound, the method being selective in that the reaction leads to the formation of ketone derivatives in a very minority fashion during the reaction. 4. Process according to claim 1 , wherein NuM is such that M is Li claim 1 , Mg claim 1 , Cu claim 1 , Zn claim 1 , or MgX wherein X is a halogen or an alkoxy and Nu is N(Calkyl) claim 1 , NH(Calkyl) claim 1 , NEt claim 1 , N(CHCH)NMe claim 1 , NMeBn claim 1 , NBn claim 1 , NMePh claim 1 , NHt-Bu NPh.7. Process according to claim 1 , wherein an asymmetric carbon is present on a leaving group of said aromatic carboxylic acid derivative and/or on the nucleophile claim 1 , and the compound of general formula (I) obtained is asymmetric.8. Process according to claim 1 , wherein at least one equivalent of NuM is used for one equivalent of starting carboxylic acid derivative.9. Process according to claim 1 , wherein at least one equivalent of a metallic base claim 1 , preferably butyllithium claim 1 , sodium hydride claim 1 , potassium hydride or lithium hydride is used for an equivalent of starting aromatic carboxylic acid derivative in order to form the metal salt corresponding to the acid ...
