✦ Synopsis

The photooxidation of allyl chloride was studied by irradiation either in 100-L Teflon bags or in a 22.7-m3 Teflon smog chamber in the presence of added NO,. In the absence of added hydrocarbons, the reaction involves a C1 atom chain, which leads to a highly reactive system. A reaction mechanism is presented to account for the following photooxidation products: chloroacetaldehyde, formaldehyde, 1,3-dichloroacetone, 3-chloroacrolein, acrolein, glyoxal, chloroperoxyacetyl nitrate, and peroxypropenyl nitrate. The rate constant for OH reaction with allyl chloride at 298 K was measured by a relative rate method under conditions where the C1 atom chain length was small and was found to be k,, = 1.7 x lo-" cm3 molecule ' s-'. The rate constant for Os reaction with allyl chloride at 298 K was found to be k,, = 1.5 x 10." cm3 molecule-' s-'.
