Abstract: | 3-Hexene-2,5-dione [CH3C(O)CH=CHC(O)CH3] and other unsaturated 1,4-dicarbonyls are formed from the atmospheric photooxidations of aromatic hydrocarbons. We have reinvestigated the formation of methylglyoxal from the gas-phase reaction of OH radicals with 3-hexene-2,5-dione in the presence of NO at room temperature and atmospheric pressure of air using in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. No evidence for the formation of methylglyoxal was obtained, with the IR spectra showing that methylglyoxal is, at most, a minor reaction product with a molar formation yield of <10% (and more likely <1%). This confirms our earlier study (Tuazon et al. Environ. Sci. Technol. 1985, 19, 265) and suggests that the CH3C(O)CH(OH)CHO and CH3C(O)CH(OH)CH(ONO2)C(O)CH3 observed by Bethel et al. (Environ. Sci. Technol. 2001, 35, 4477) are the major first-generation reaction products. |
