Abstract:

The mechanism of the reaction between CH3CH2O and HCHO was investigated at CCSD(T)cc-pVDZ//B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level. Eight possible reaction channels(five H-abstraction channels and three H-isomerization channels) for the title reaction were idenpngied. The results indicated that channel R→IMa(CH3CH2O…CH2O)→TS1→IM1b→P1(CH3CH2OH+CHO) was the most favorable channel with the apparent activation energy of 14.65 kJ/mol. The rate constants of the path R1 were evaluated over a temperature range of 275—1000 K via the canonical variational transition state theory(CVT) combined with a small-curvature tunneling correction. The fitted three-parameter expression for the path R1 is kCVT/SCT=2.26×10-17T0.57exp(-1004/T) and R1 has a positive temperature effect over a temperature range of 275—1000 K.
