Electron transfer from toluene anions of CO[sub 2], 1,3-butadiene, and pyrimidine was studied at high pressure (1-3 kbar). For these solutes the second-order rate constants for transfer are in the range (0.2-3.0) x 10[sup 12] m[sup [minus]1] s[sup [minus]1]. This high reactivity is associated with the high mobility of toluene anions. Electron transfer to butadiene is reversible, and [delta]G[sub r][sup 298] is -10.0 kcal/mol in toluene. This reaction shifts to the left with increasing temperature and to the right on dilution of the toluene with n-pentane. The pressure dependence is slight; the volume change is [minus]0.7 [+-] 0.6 cm[sup 3]/mol. 22 refs., 3 figs., 2 tabs.
