Some relative rate experiments have been carried out at room temperature and at atmospheric pressure. This concerns the OH-oxidation of some oxygenated volatile organic compounds including methanol (k 1 ), ethanol (k 2 ), MTBE (k 3 ), ethyl acetate (k 4 ), n-propyl acetate (k 5 ), isopropyl acetate

Abstract
Products of the reaction of OH radicals with 1‐butene have been investigated in the presence of NO in one atmosphere of air at room temperature using gas chromatography and in situ long pathlength Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy. The major product observed was propionaldehyde, with a formation yield (after allowing for its subsequent loss processes) of 0.94 ± 0.12. Minor yields of organic nitrates (RONO~2~) and of peroxypropionyl nitrate, a secondary product arising from propionaldehyde, were also observed. However, none of the products expected from the reactions subsequent to H‐atom abstraction from 1‐butene by OH radicals were observed, allowing an upper limit of 10% for this process to be derived. These data are compared with the available literature results and the implications are discussed.

## Abstract We have employed the laser flash photolysis–resonance fluorescence technique to investigate the gas‐phase kinetics of elementary steps in the Br‐initiated oxidation of 2,3‐dimethyl‐2‐butene (TME) under atmospheric conditions. At __T__⩾ 274 K, measured rate coefficients are independent o
Ethers are being increasingly used as motor fuel additives to increase the octane number and to reduce CO emissions. Since their reaction with hydroxyl radicals (OH) is a major loss process for these oxygenated species in the atmosphere, we have conducted a relative rate study of the kinetics of the
