Abstract
⺠We compare the combustion chemistry of n-butane and the alkyl ester methyl butanoate. ⺠Oxidation pathways associated with the methyl ester moiety suppress NTC behavior. ⺠Fuel-bound oxygen results in early formation of oxygenated species. ⺠The methyl ester moiety also leads to reduction in soot precursor production.
