Abstract
the invention concerns novel catalysts for aromatic nucleophilic substitution. Said catalysts are compounds of the general formula (I), wherein: R.sub.1, R.sub2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, and R.sub.6, identical or different, are selected among hydrocarbon radicals; the Pn's, advantageously the same, are selected among metalloid elements of column V of a period higher than nitrogen; Z is a metalloid element of column V, advantageously distinct from Pn; preferably a nitrogen (N, P, As, Sb). The invention is applicable to organic synthesis
