Reaction of oxygen atoms with methyl and ethyl nitrites

J. A. Davidson  and  B. A. Thrush  

Abstract

The reactions of oxygen atoms with methyl nitrite and with ethyl nitrite have been studied in a discharge flow system between 300 and 410 K. Initial attack is by abstraction of a hydrogen atom, for which the rate expressions are 1.4 × 1010 exp(–21.8 ± 2 kJ mol–1/RT) and 2.6 × 1010 exp(–20.3 ± 2 kJ mol–1/RT) dm3 mol–1 s–1. The activation energy for hydrogen abstraction is not reduced by the fact that the initially formed radical can rupture exothermically to yield an aldehyde and nitric oxide.
