Atmospheric Degradation of CH═C(CH)C(O)O[CH]CH by OH Radicals: Reactivity, POCP, and Carbonyl Formation.

Relative rate studies of the gas-phase reaction of amyl methacrylate, CH═C(CH)C(O)O[CH]CH, with OH radicals were performed at (298 ± 2) K and 1000 mbar. The experiments were conducted in an atmospheric Pyrex chamber coupled to Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The rate coefficient obtained from the average of several experiments was = (8.
