Atmospheric reaction of OH radicals with 1,3-butadiene and 4-hydroxy-2-butenal
The gas-phase reaction of OH radicals with 1,3-butadiene and 4-hydroxy-2-butenal in the presence of NO has been studied in a flow tube operated at 295 +/- 2 K and pressures of 950 mbar of synthetic air or 100 mbar of an O-2/He mixture. OH radicals were generated using three different experimental approaches, namely, ozonolysis of tetramethylethylene (dark reaction), photolysis of methyl nitrite, or via the reaction of HO2 with NO (HO2 from the reaction of H-atoms with O-2). Products of the reaction of OH radicals with 1,3-butadiene were HCHO (0.64 +/- 0.08), acrolein (0.59 +/- 0.06), 4-hydroxy-2-butenal (0.23 +/- 0.10), furan (0.046 +/- 0.014), and organic nitrates (0.06 +/- 0.02) accounting for more than 90% of the reacted carbon. There was no significant dependence of product yields on experimental conditions which were varied in a wide range. The formation of the 1,4-addition product 4-hydroxy-2-butenal was confirmed unambiguously for the first time. The. rate coefficient k(OH + 4-hydroxy-2-butenal) = (5.1 +/- 0.8) x 10(-11) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) was determined using a relative rate technique (p = 100 mbar, T 295 2 K). Products of the reaction of OH radicals with 4-hydroxy-2-butenal were glycolaldehyde (0.40 +/- 0.06), glyoxal (0.17 +/- 0.04), trans-butenedial (0.093 +/- 0.033), and organic nitrates (0.043 +/- 0.015) as well as further carbonylic substances remaining unidentified so far. Corresponding reaction mechanisms describing the formation of the detected products are proposed, and the relevance of these data for atmospheric conditions is discussed.
