The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of compounds of the formula I STR1 where X is CH=CH, N=CH, CH=N or S, R1 and R2 independently of one another are H, halogen, alkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, haloalkyl, haloalkoxy, haloalkylthio or the bivalent methylenedioxy group, R3 is a radical of the formulae (A), (B) or (C) STR2 where R4 and R5 independently of one another are H, halogen, alkyl, alkoxy or a radical of the formula (D) STR3 in which R6 is H or halogen and Y is CH2, O or S, and m, n, o, p and q are 0, 1, or 2, which comprises reacting a compound of the formula II where R3 is as defined in formula I, with dichloromethylsilane in the presence of a catalyst suitable for hydrosilylation reactions, and reacting the resulting intermediate of the formula III STR4 where R3 is as defined in formula I, in succession and without isolation of the resulting intermediate, with a methylmagnesium halide and an arylmagnesium halide of the general formula IV STR5 where R1, R2, m, n and X are as defined in formula I and Hal is halogen. The invention furthermore relates to the compounds of the formula III.
