Abstract
The reaction of CH3O2 with ClO has been studied at 293 K using a flow reactor sampled by a mass spectrometer. Under conditions where [ClO] m uch greater than [CH3O2], the CH3O2 decayed under pseudo-first-order c onditions giving a rate coefficient of (1.9 +/- 0.4) x 10(-12) cm3 s-1 . CH3OCl was detected as a reaction product. The implications of the m easurements for the chemistry of the stratosphere are discussed briefl y.
