The kinetics of the reactions of maleic anhydride, N ‐methylmaleimide, fumaronitrile, diethyl fumarate, and diethyl maleate with pyridinium and sulfonium ylides were studied in DMSO at 20 °C. All of the reactions were found to follow a second‐order rate law, and can be described by the linear free energy relationship log k 2 (20 °C) = s N ( N + E ), where N and s N are solvent‐dependent nucleophile‐specific parameters, and E is an electrophile‐specific parameter. The electrophilicity parameters E of the investigated acceptor‐substituted alkenes were derived from the linear correlations of (log k 2 )/ s N vs. N , and range from –19.8 to –11.1.
