Gas phase kinetics for the ozonolysis of n-butyl methacrylate, ethyl crotonate and vinyl propionate under atmospheric conditions

- First kinetic study of the ozonolysis of three unsaturated esters.
- Experiments in smog chamber using 'in situ' FTIR.
- Reactivity trends and substituent effects were discussed.
- kO3vs. kOH correlations were used to estimate rate constants.
- Atmospheric lifetimes of these esters were discussed.
