Abstract

The reactions of CH3OCH3 and CF3OCH3 with the OH radical were investigated using the dual-level direct dynamics approach. The minimum energy path calculation was also carried out and energetic information was further refined by the G3 theory. The results imply that CH3OCH3 + OH reaction may proceed much easier than the CF3OCH3 + OH radical and fluorine substitution decreases the reactivity of the C-H bond.
