Abstract:

A comprehensive theoretical study about the reaction of RCHOO(R=H, CH3) with NCO was performed at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ//B3LYP/6-311+G(2df,2p) level. The rate coefficients for the dominant reaction channels were determined at 298—500 K via conventional transition state theory(TST) with a Eckart tunneling. The results show that the detailed mechanism mainly includes addition, oxidation and hydrogen abstraction reactions. N and O atoms of the NCO radical can react to RCHOO(R=H and CH3) in each reaction mode. Moreover, the end O atom of NCO addition to RCHOO(R=H and CH3) α-C is favored for the addition reaction, while the reactions involving the end N atom of NCO is advantaged in both oxidation and hydrogen abstraction. The methyl substituents in the CH2OO produce an increase of the reactivity. Anti-CH3CHOO shows a higher reactivity than syn-CH3CHOO towards addition and oxidation reaction, but for the hydrogen abstraction, syn-CH3CHOO is significantly more reactive than anti-CH3CHOO. The contribution of anti-CH3CHOO to the overall rate constant is greater than that of syn-CH3CHOO, and the total rate constant satisfies a strong negative temperature effect.
