he rate coefficients for the reactions of OH radicals and Cl atoms with 3-methoxy-1-propanol (3-M-1-POL) and 3-methoxy-1-butanol (3-M-1-BOL) in the gas-phase have been measured at (298 ± 2) K and atmospheric pressure. A conventional relative-rate technique was used to determine the rate coefficients: k1 (OH + 3-M-1-POL)= (2.15 ± 0.28) x 10−11, k2 (OH + 3-M-1-BOL)= (2.38 ± 0.31) x 10−11, k3 (Cl + 3-M-1-POL)= (2.66 ± 0.23) x 10−10 and k4 (Cl + 3-M-1-BOL)= (2.95 ± 0.27) x 10−10, all in units of cm3 molecule−1s−1.The present work provides the first kinetic study of the reactions of Cl atoms with 3-M-1-POL and 3-M-1-BOL, and of the reaction of OH radicals with 3-M-1-POL. The kinetic results are presented and compared with those calculated (kSAR) using the structure-reactivity relationship (SAR) method, and reactivity trends are discussed.Additionally, products identification under atmospheric conditions was performed for the first time
