Abstract

This Letter reports the first kinetic study of 2-butoxy radicals to employ direct monitoring of the radical. The reactions of 2-butoxy with O2 and NO are investigated using laser-induced fluorescence (LIF). The Arrhenius expressions for the reactions of 2-butoxy with NO(k1) and O2(k2) in the temperature range 223-311 K have been determined to be k1=(7.50±1.69)×10 -12×exp((2.98±0.47)kJmol-1/RT)cm 3molecule-1s-1andk 2=(1.33±0.43)×10 -15×exp((5.48±0.69)kJmol-1/RT)cm 3molecule-1s-1. No pressure dependence was found for the rate constants of the reaction of 2-butoxy with NO at 223 K between 50 and 175 Torr.
