Abstract

The gas-phase reaction of ozone with C-5-C-10 alkenes (eight 1-alkenes, four 1,1-disubstituted alkenes, and cyclohexene) has been investigated at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature (285-293 K). Cyclohexane was added to scavenge the hydroxyl radical, which forms as a product of the ozone-alkene reaction. The reaction rate constants, in units of 10(-18) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) are 9.6 +/- 1.6 for 1-pentene, 9.7 +/- 1.4 for 1-hexene, 9.4 +/- 0.4 for 1-heptene, 12.5 +/- 0.4 for 1-octene, 8.0 +/- 1.4 for 1-decene, 3.8 +/- 0.6 for 3-methyl-1-pentene, 7.3 +/- 0.7 for 4-methyl-1-pentene, 3.9 +/- 0.9 for 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene, 13.3 +/- 1.4 for 2-methyl-1-butene, 12.5 +/- 1.1 for 2-methyl-1-pentene, 10.0 +/- 0.3 for 2,3-dimethyl-1-butene, 13.7 +/- 0.9 for 2-ethyl-1-butene, and 84.6 +/- 1.0 for cyclohexene. Substituent effects on alkene reactivity are examined. Steric effects appear to be important for all 1,1-disubstituted alkenes as well as for those 1-alkenes that bear s-butyl and t-butyl groups. The results are briefly discussed with respect to the atmospheric persistence of the alkenes studied. (C) 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
