N2 - The reaction mechanism of hydrogen abstraction from methyl acetate by the hydroxyl radical is investigated theoretically. Four hydrogen abstraction reaction channels were found; the OH radical can abstract either the in-plane or the out-of-plane hydrogen atom on either the methyl group or the methoxy group of methyl acetate. There is a ∼95% probability that the OH radical abstracts an out-of-plane hydrogen atom from the methoxy group.
