This paper reports the rate measurements for the reactions of carbanions derived from benzyltriflones, 2, with 4-nitrobenzofuroxan, 4, in methanol, to give anionic σ-adducts. 1H NMR studies in DMSO-d6 indicate that the products formed by the reaction of 2 and 4 in the presence of triethylamine are consistent with the products formed by the elimination of trifluoromethylsulfinic acid from σ-adducts, initially formed by a carbanion attack at the 5 position of 4. The low value of β, which is the slope of the linear plot of log k5 versus pKa, provides evidence for the high steric requirements of the benzyltriflone anions.
