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

✦ Synopsis
The relative hydroxyl radical reaction rate constants from the simulated atmospheric oxidation of selected acetates and other esters have been measured. Reactions were carried out at 297 2 2 K in 100-liter FEP Teflon@-film bags. The OH radicals were generated from the photolysis of methyl nitrite in pure air. Using a rate constant of 2.63 X lo-" cm3 molecule-' s-l for the reaction of OH radicals with propene, the principal reference organic compound, the rate constants (x1Ol2 cm3 molecule-' s-*) obtained for the acetates and esters used in this study are: n -propyl acetate 3.42 rt 0.87 n -butyl acetate 5.71 2 0.94 n-pentyl acetate 7.53 2 0.48 2-ethoxyethyl acetate 10.56 t 1.31 2 -ethoxyethyl isobutyrate 13.56 rt 2.32 2 -ethoxyethyl methacrylate 27.22 2 2.06 4penten-1-yl acetate 43.40 2 3.85 3-Ethoxyacrylic acid ethyl ester 33.30 2 1.22 Error limits represent 20 from linear least-squares analysis of data. A linear correlation was observed for a plot of the measured relative rate constants vs. the number of CH2 groups per molecule of the following acetates: methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, n-propyl acetate, butyl acetate, and pentyl acetate.

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
Rate data for the reactions of CFsO radicals with alkenes and aromatic compounds have been determined at 298 K using a relative rate method. The data are analyzed in terms of structure-reactivity relationships, and their importance to the atmospheric chemistry of CFsO discussed.
