The reaction of amide and amidate anions 2 with p ‐toluenesulfonyl chloride ( 1 ) under different reaction conditions gives rise to the total or partial reduction of the acyl halide to p ‐toluenesulfinic acid ( 5 ) and acylation compounds in variable amounts depending on the crowding at the anionic center. This indicates that a Single‐Electron Transfer (SET) mechanism is involved in the reactions of 1 with anions. Unpaired electron species are detected by ESR in the course of the reactions.
