The stable products of the low-pressure (4 - 8 torr (1 torr = 133.33 Pa)) gas-phase reactions of ozone with ethene, propene, 2-methylpropene, cis-2-butene, trans-2-butene, trans-2-pentene, 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene, and 2-ethyl-1-butene have been identified by using a photoionization mass spectrometer coupled to a stirred-flow reactor.The products observed are characteristic of (i) a primary Criegee split to an oxoalkane (aldehyde or ketone) and a Criegee intermediate, (ii) reactions of the Criegee intermediates such as unimolecular decomposition, secondary ozonide formation, etc., and (iii) secondary alkene chemistry involving OH and other free-radical products formed by the unimolecular decomposition of the Criegee intermediates.The secondary OH - alkene - O2 reactions account for a significant fraction of the alkene (CnH2n) consumed and lead to characteristic products such as Cn dioxoalkanes nH2n + 30)>, Cn acyloins nH2n + 32)>, and Cn alkanediols nH2n + 34)>.Cn oxoalkanes and Cn epoxyalkanes observed at m/e (CnH2n + 16) are probably formed primarily via epoxidation of the alkene by O3.A general mechanism has been proposed to account for the observations.
