If the ratio of the products formed does not appear to be depending on the substitution<br />

pattern, it would be legitimate to believe that the steric strains do not significantly<br />

influence the departure of a given substituent.<br />

In the latter hypothesis, and to provide a more complete overview of the alkyl<br />

carbanions basicities in solution, it would be useful to perform further experiments with<br />

phosphonium salts bearing very similar alkyl substituents, in order to build a "step by<br />

step" scale of basicity. On the other hand, since the alkaline decomposition of<br />

phosphonium salt appeared to be an effective method to assess the relative basicities of<br />

carbanionic species, it would be of interest to perform a systematic basicity assessment<br />

with several phosphonium halides bearing various substituted aryl groups. These results<br />

could then be correlated with those obtained for the same substrates, by means of other<br />

methods. For instance, the relative basicities of methoxy-, trifluoromethyl-, or<br />

haloarenes<br />

[ ] 220 determined with both methods, could be compared to evaluate the<br />

reliability of the values determined and the impact of solvents or aggregation effects.<br />
