✦ Synopsis

Relative rate constants for the reaction of OH radicals with a series of branched alkanes have been determined a t 297 ? 2 K, using methyl nitrite photolysis in air as a source of OH radicals. Using a rate constant for the reaction of OH radicals with n-butane of 2.58 x lo-'' cm3/molecule . s, the rate constants obtained are ( x 10" cm'/molecule . s): isobutane, 2.29 ? 0.06; 2-methylbutane, 3.97 ? 0.11; 2,2dimethylbutane, 2.66 ? 0.08; 2-methylpentane, 5.68 ? 0.24; 3-methylpentane, 5.78 2 0.11; 2,2,3-trimethylbutane, 4.21 3-0.08; 2,4-dimethylpentane, 5.26 ? 0.11; methylcyclohexane, 10.6 ? 0.3; 2,2,3,3-tetramethylbutane, 1.06 ? 0.08; and 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, 3.66 0.16. Rate constants for 2,2-dimethylbutane, 2,4-dimethylpentane, and methylclohexane have been determined for the first time, while those for the other branched alkanes are in generally good agreement with the literature data. Primary, secondary, and tertiary group rate constants at room temperature have been derived from these and previous data for alkanes and unstrained cycloalkanes, with the secondary and tertiary group rate constants depending in a systematic manner on the identity of the neighboring groups. The use of these group rate constants, together with a previous determination of the effect of ring strain energy on the OH radical rate constants for a series of cycloalkanes, allows the a priori estimation of OH radical rate constants for alkanes and cycloalkanes at room temperature.

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
