The second-order rate constants for the reduction of «-hexyl iodides, bromides, and chlorides by aromatic radical an-ions of an expanded reduction potential series have been determined. The series includes biphenyl (—E\¡ i, 2.80 V), naphtha-lene (—£ 1/2, 2.60 V), pyrene (—£ 1/2, 2.10 V), anthracene (—£ 1/2, 1.98 V), fluoranthene (-£ 1/2, 1.77 V), and perylene (-£ 1/2, 1.67 V). The relationship between the log of the rates and the reduction potentials of the radical anions at constant ha-lide is not linear. Similarly, the relationship between the log of the rates and the carbon-halogen bond strength plus electron affinity of the halogen at constant aromatic radical anion is not linear. The effects of structural variationsand of ion pairing on the reaction rates are considered. These patterns indicate changes in the position of the transition state in going from a high-ly exothermicto a less exothermic reaction. The possibility of an organic halide radical anion intermediate is considered. The relationship between this work and electrochemical reduction and Grignard formation is discussed.It has been known for some time that aromatic radical an-ions, such as sodium naphthalene, provide a low-energy pathway for the reduction of alkyl halides. 1 This reaction has elicited considerable interest from a mechanistic point of view, 2 and more recently, kinetic studieshave contributed to our understanding. 3-5 Our previous kinetic study of the reactions
