Products of the gas-phase reactions of O3 with alkenes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/es00007a025

The products of the gas-phase reactions of O₃ with 1-pentene, 1-hexene, 1-heptene, 1-octene, 2,3-dimethyl-1-butene, cyclopentene, and 1-methyl-cyclohexene have been investigated at room temperature and 740 Torr total pressure of air in the presence of cyclohexane or n-octane to scavenge OH radicals. Products were identified and quantified by gas chromatography and in situ Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy. The presence of cyclohexene, showed the formation of OH radicals from these O₃ reactions. The carbonyl products were identified and quantified. -from Authors
