Reactions of OH and NO3 radicals with phenol, cresols, and 2-nitrophenol at 296 plus or minus 2 K
Article Abstract:
The reaction of benzene and alkyl-substituted benzenes with the OH radical occurs in the atmosphere. The OH radical's reaction with benzene forms phenol, while the reaction with toluene forms cresols and the reaction with xylenes forms dimethylphenols. The nitrophenol formation yields from reactions of phenols initiated by the OH and NO3 radicals were determined when NOx was present. The results indicated that the formation of nitrophenol was a minor process in aromatic hydrocarbon degradation in the atmosphere.

Products of the gas-phase OH and NO3 radical-initiated reactions of naphthalene
Article Abstract:
The reaction of NO3 radicals and OH radicals, in the presence of NO3, with naphthalene results in a number of ring cleavage species. The major products found in the reaction of the NO3 radical were 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene. The major products in the reaction of the OH radical include 2-formylcinnamaldehyde. These observations were obtained using a combination of techniques that include gas chromatography and in situ atmospheric pressure ionization mass spectrometry.

Products of the gas-phase reactions of 1,3-butadiene with OH and NO3 radicals
Article Abstract:
Products formed from the gas-phase reaction of nitric trioxide (NO3) and hydroxide radicals (OH) with 1,3-butadiene are examined. These conditions were investigated at the atmospheric pressure of air and at room temperature.
