## Abstract A mechanism for ozone–olefin reactions is developed that is consistent with the recent findings of several investigations. These findings suggest a reaction sequence leading to the production of fewer free radical species than has been assumed in the past. Computer simulations using the

Abstract
A new mechanism for gas phase ozone‐olefin reactions is proposed. The mechanism involves biradical intermediates which can react in a variety of ways. One of the possible reaction modes corresponds to the Criegie mechanism originally proposed to explain solution ozonolysis reactions and generally also accepted in the past for gas phase reactions. However, an examination of the gas phase data on ozone–olefin reactions and of the thermochemical and kinetic requirements for these reactions indicates that the Criegie reaction mode may be the least important of various other reaction possibilities. Those other reaction possibilities involve intramolecular H abstractions and rearrangements in biradical intermediates. The proposed mechanism provides very reasonable explanations for a number of unusual observations on gas phase ozonolysis. These are the formation of peroxidic bound products, aldehyde and 1,2‐dicarbonyl product fluorescences, and unexpected carbonyl product formations.
