Abstract

Methacrolein oxide (MACRO, CH$_{2}$C(CH$_{3}$)CHOO) is an important Criegee intermediate produced in ozonolysis of isoprene, the most abundantly-emitted non-methane hydrocarbon in the atmosphere. We employed a step-scan Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer to investigate the source reaction of MACRO in laboratories. Upon UV irradiation of precursor 1,3-diiodo-2-methyl-prop-1-ene CH$_{2}$IC(CH$_{3}$)CHI {\bf (1)}, the 3-iodo-2-methyl-prop-1-en-3-yl CH$_{2}$C(CH$_{3}$)CHI radical {\bf (2)} was detected, confirming the fission of the allylic C-I bond rather than the vinylic C-I bond. Upon UV irradiation of {\bf (1)} and O$_{2}$ near 21 Torr, {\it anti-trans}-MACRO {\bf (3a)} was observed to have an intense OO-stretching band near 917 \wn, much greater than those of {\it syn}-CH$_{3}$CHOO and (CH$_{3}$)$_{2}$COO, supporting a stronger O-O bond in MACRO because of resonance stabilization. At increased pressure (86-346 Torr), both reaction adducts CH$_{2}$C(CH$_{3}$)CHIOO {\bf (4)} and (CHI)C(CH$_{3}$)CH$_{2}$OO {\bf (5)} radicals were observed, indicating that O$_{2}$ can add to either carbon of the delocalized propenyl radical moiety of {\bf (2)}. We also employed a quantum-cascade laser and an UV laser to investigate the yield and kinetics of MACRO. The yield of MACRO is only ~5 \% from the source reaction, significantly smaller than other carbonyl oxides. The rate coefficients of the formation reaction and the self-reaction of MACRO will also be discussed.
