A combined density functional theory and transition-state theory study of the mechanisms and reaction coefficients of gas-phase ozonolysis of geraniol-trans, 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, and 6-hydroxy-4-methyl-4-hexenal is presented. The geometries, energies, and harmonic vibrational frequencies of each stationary point were determined by B3LYP/6-31(d,p), MPW1K/cc-pVDZ, and BH&HLYP/cc-pVDZ methods. According to the calculations, the ozone 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one reaction is faster than the ozone 6-hydroxy-4-methyl-4-hexenal reaction, but both are slower than the ozone geraniol-trans reaction. By using the BH&HLYP/cc-pVDZ data, a global rate coefficient of 5.9 x 10(-16) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) was calculated, corresponding to the sum of geraniol-trans, 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, and 6-hydroxy-4-methyl-4-hexenal reactions with the ozone. These results are in good agreement with the experimental studies.

A density functional theory (DFT) study of the mechanisms of carbonyl oxide reactions from geraniol-trans, 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, and 6-hydroxy-4-methyl-4-hexenal ozonolysis is presented. The geometries, energies, and harmonic vibrational frequencies of each stationary point were determined by B3LYP/6-31(d,p) and BH&HLYP/cc-pVDZ methods. According to the calculations, the ozonolysis reactions are initiated by the formation of van der Waals (VDW) complexes to yield primary ozonides, which rapidly open to carbonyl oxide compounds.
