The kinetics of the reactions of carbanions, carboxylate anions, and primary and secondary amines with acylating agents were studied in acetonitrile and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) under first‐order conditions by UV/Vis spectrophotometry and conductimetry. Whereas reactions of a large variety of nucleophiles with ordinary carbanions and Michael acceptors generally follow the linear free energy relationship lg  k 2 (20 °C) = s N ( N + E ), separate correlation lines for different types of nucleophiles were found when (lg  k 2 )/ s N was plotted against N for the reactions with acyl derivatives 2 – 5 . Even when nucleophilic attack is rate determining, the reactivities of acylating agents towards nucleophiles cannot be described by a single set of nucleophile‐independent electrophilicity parameters.
