Temperature-dependent rate constants for the reactions of CH2OO with acetone (Ac), biacetyl (BiAc), and acetylacetone (AcAc) have been measured over the range 275–335 K using a flash photolysis, transient absorption spectroscopy technique. The measurements were performed at a total pressure of ∼80 Torr in N2 bath gas, which corresponds to the high-pressure limit for these reactions. All three reactions show linear Arrhenius plots with negative temperature dependences. Rate constants increase in the order Ac < AcAc « BiAc across the temperature range; at 295 K the rate constants are kAc = (4.8 ± 0.4) × 10–13 cm3 s–1, kAcAc = (8.0 ± 0.7) × 10–13 cm3 s–1, and kBiAc = (1.10 ± 0.09) × 10–11 cm3 s–1. Sensitivity to temperature, characterized by the magnitude of the negative activation energy, increases in the order AcAc < BiAc < Ac (Ea/R values of –1830 ± 170 K, –1260 ± 170 K, and –460 ± 180 K, respectively). CBS-QB3 calculations show that the Ac and BiAc reactions proceed via formation of an entrance channel complex followed by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to form secondary ozonide products via a submerged transition state. For the BiAc reaction, the rate limiting step appears to be rearrangement of a long-range van der Waals complex into the short-range complex that subsequently leads directly to the cycloaddition transition state with a very low energy barrier. The calculations show that two reaction pathways are competitive for AcAc with nearly identical transition state free energies (ΔG° = +10.1 kcal mol–1 at 298 K) found for cycloaddition at the C=O and at the C=C site of the dominant enolone tautomer. The weak temperature dependence observed is likely due to competition between these pathways.
