Abstract

The gas-phase reaction of ozone with a series of unsaturated oxygenates and with 1-pentene has been studied at ambient T (287–296 K) and p=1 atm. of air. Reaction rate constants, in units of 10−18 cm3 molecule−1 s−1, are 0.22±0.05 for 2 (5H)-furanone, 1.08±0.20 for methacrolein, 1.74±0.20 for crotonaldehyde, 5.84±0.39 for methylvinyl ketone, 1.05±0.15 for methyl acrylate, 3.20±0.47 for vinyl acetate, 59.0±8.7 for cis-3-hexenyl acetate, 154±30 for ethylvinyl ether, ≥(315±23) for linalool, and 10.9±1.4 for 1-pentene. The results are compared to literature data for the compounds studied and for other unsaturated oxygenates, and are discussed in terms of reactivity toward ozone as a function of the nature, number, and position of the oxygen-containing substituents (SINGLEBOND)CHO, (SINGLEBOND)C(O)R, (SINGLEBOND)C(O)OR, and (SINGLEBOND)OC(O)R. Atmospheric implications are briefly examined. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int. J Chem Kinet: 30: 21–29, 1998.
