Second‐order rate constants for the reactions of acceptor‐substituted phenacyl (PhCOCH − Acc) and benzyl anions (PhCH − Acc) with diarylcarbenium ions and quinone methides (reference electrophiles) have been determined in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) solution at 20 °C. By studying the kinetics in the presence of variable concentrations of potassium, sodium and lithium salts (up to 10 −2  mol L −1 ), the influence of ion‐pairing on the reaction rates was examined. As the concentration of K + did not have any influence on the rate constants at carbanion concentrations in the range of 10 −4 –10 −3  mol L −1 , the acquired rate constants could be assigned to the reactivities of the free carbanions. The counter ion effects increase, however, in the series K +
