Products of the OH radical-initiated reactions of 2-propyl nitrate, 3-methyl-2-butyl nitrate and 3-methyl-2-pentyl nitrate
Abstract In the atmosphere, alkyl nitrates formed from the reactions of alkyl peroxy radicals with NO are chemically removed by photolysis and by reaction with OH radicals. Products of the gas-phase reactions of OH radicals with 2-propyl nitrate, 3-methyl-2-butyl nitrate and 3-methyl-2-pentyl nitrate at room temperature have been investigated. The products observed and quantified were: from 2-propyl nitrate, acetone (58 ± 18%); from 3-methyl-2-butyl nitrate, acetaldehyde (113 ± 39% from gas chromatographic analyses and 70 ± 25% from FT-IR analyses), acetone (55 ± 8%), and 3-methyl-2-butanone (17 ± 2%); and from 3-methyl-2-pentyl nitrate, acetaldehyde (120 ± 26% from gas chromatographic analyses and 80 ± 21% from FT-IR analyses), propanal (≤1.1%), 2-butanone (33 ± 3%), 2-methylbutanal (≤1.1%), and 3-methyl-2-pentanone (9 ± 1%), where the percentage molar yields are given in parentheses. Using these measured product yields together with predicted reaction schemes indicates that these products account for 58 ± 18%, 86 ± 15% and 63 ± 7% of the overall reaction pathways of the 2-propyl nitrate, 3-methyl-2-butyl nitrate and 3-methyl-2-pentyl nitrate reactions, respectively. The NO2 present in the −ONO2 group in these nitrates will be released in the reaction pathways leading to the observed products.
Research highlights ► Products from reaction of OH radicals with branched alkyl nitrates indicate that NO2 is released to a large extent. ► This is because the intermediate alkoxy radicals mainly decompose to form α-nitrooxy radicals which eliminate NO2. ► Alkoxy radical reactions determine whether or not the NOx in the alkyl nitrate will be released by OH radical reaction.
