Abstract: Nitroxyl(>NO·) radicals have received considerable attention due to their importance in various fields, e.g., combustion, organic synthesis, biological systems. In this paper, the UB3LYP/6-311++G(d,p)//UB3LYP/6-31G(d) study was performed on the complex reaction potential energy surfaces of H2NO· radicals with cis-2-butene with an attempt to understand the possible reaction mechanism. Three types, five distinct elementary channels were revealed as: L4-Ⅰ and L4-Ⅱ(ion-addition), L4-Ⅲ and L4-Ⅳ(addition-addition-elimination), L4-Ⅴ(addition-addition-elimination-catalyzed conversion). The kinetic analysis demonstrated that the title reaction undergoes the addition-addition-elimination mechanism(L4-Ⅳ). The pre-sent results are expected to provide useful information for understanding the selective oxidation of unsaturated hydrocarbons by such type of oxygen-mediated radicals.
