Abstract: The elementary reaction of CF3CH3+·OH was studied by using density functional theory(DFT) B3LYP method with the 6-31G(d,p) basis set. There are six pathways of the reaction of CF3CH3 with ·OH radical: direct hydrogen abstraction, direct fluorine abstraction, CF3 substitution, CH3 substitution, fluorine substitution and hydrogen substitution. Four substitution reactions are SN2 reaction. We affirmed that the main reaction pathway of the reaction CF3CH3+.OH is a direct hydrogen abstraction.
