- Organic hydroperoxides (ROOHs) are important reactive species in the atmosphere, primarily found in aerosols and cloud droplets due to their low volatility and high hydrophilicity, but their decomposition in liquid phases is not well understood.
- The study investigates the temperature-dependent decomposition of α-alkoxyalkyl-hydroperoxides (α-AHs) from α-terpineol in different alcohols, finding that their decay follows a single-exponential pattern and that higher temperatures increase the decomposition rate.
- The authors propose that a proton-catalyzed mechanism is key to the decomposition of α-AHs in acidic conditions, suggesting these processes could release hydroxyl radicals (HO) and other multifunctionalized compounds
