Alkoxy radicals are key intermediates of the degradation of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Of the three major reaction pathways, reaction of alkoxy radicals with molecular oxygen is more consistently important than unimolecular decomposition and isomerization. The kinetics of alkoxy radicals reacting with oxygen has been well studied for small alkoxy radicals derived from alkanes; however, there was no data for larger alkoxy radicals derived from more complicated organic compounds, such as aromatic hydrocarbons. In this study, benzyloxy (C6H5CH2O ) has been investigated in order to...
