S. Hatakeyama et al., PRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN-PEROXIDE AND ORGANIC HYDROPEROXIDES IN THE REACTION OF OZONE WITH NATURAL HYDROCARBONS IN AIR, Chemistry Letters, (8), 1993, pp. 1287-1290
Reaction of ozone with three kinds of olefins in air was studied. H2O2
, CH3OOH, and HOCH2OOH were collected and analyzed with HPLC with a fl
uorometric detector. Direct reaction of CH2OO with H2O was found to be
the source of HOCH2OOH. CH3OOH was formed only from the olefins which
have a methyl group. Detailed reaction mechanisms are discussed.
