Kinetic study of the reactions of Cl atoms with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds at atmospheric pressure and structure activity relations (SARs)

The kinetics of the reactions of Cl atoms with ethyl vinyl ketone, vinyl propionate and ethyl acrylate were investigated for the first time at 298 K and atmospheric pressure using the GC-FID technique and the relative rate method. Structure activity relationships were developed for the reactions of Cl wide a wide range of unsaturated compounds and atmospheric implications are assessed.
