Abstract:
Methacrolein (MACR) and methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) are the coproducts of Criegee intermediates (CIs) from isoprene ozonolysis, and the reaction between them has potential importance in the atmospheric degradation of volatile organic compounds. This work investigates the reaction mechanism and kinetics of the smallest Criegee intermediate, CH2OO, with MACR and MVK. 1,3-Cycloaddition of CH2OO across the C═O double bond forms a secondary ozonide (SOZ), which may decompose to organic acids and carbonyl compounds. The lowest-energy-dissociation pathway for the SOZ involves the formation of a singlet biradical intermediate (BIR) by ring fission, followed by H-shift isomerization and dissociation to products. Master equation (ME) calculations show that the rate constants show a negative temperature effect in the temperature range of 200-500 K for the reaction of CH2OO with MACR and MVK. The collisionally stabilized SOZ was found to be the main products at 300 K and atmospheric pressure, which tend to decompose to organic acids and carbonyl compounds at high temperatures and low pressures.

SN2 Reaction: Kinetics
In a chemical reaction, a relationship exists between the concentration of reactants and the rate at which the reaction proceeds. The study to measure this relationship is known as the kinetics of a chemical reaction. Kinetic studies are used to deduce the rate law of a chemical reaction, which provides information about the species involved during the transition state of the rate-determining step. Thus, kinetic studies help to derive the mechanism of a...
