Abstract

We investigate the oxidation of methacryloylperoxy nitrate (MPAN) and methacrylicperoxy acid (MPAA) by the hydroxyl radical (OH) theoretically, using both density functional theory [B3LYP] and explicitly correlated coupled cluster theory [CCSD(T)-F12]. These two compounds are produced following the abstraction of a hydrogen atom from methacrolein (MACR) by the OH radical. We use a RRKM master equation analysis to estimate that the oxidation of MPAN leads to formation of hydroxymethyl-methyl-α-lactone (HMML) in high yield. HMML production follows a low potential energy path from both MPAN and MPAA following addition of OH (via elimination of the NO ₃ and OH from MPAN and MPAA, respectively). We suggest that the subsequent heterogeneous phase chemistry of HMML may be the route to formation of 2-methylglyceric acid, a common component of organic aerosol produced in the oxidation of methacrolein. Oxidation of acrolein, a photo-oxidation product from 1,3-butadiene, is found to follow a similar route generating hydroxymethyl-α-lactone (HML).
