Gas-phase and grain-surface chemical routes proposed in the literature for the formation of EF.

Gas-phase chemistry

(1) C2H5OH (ET) + H+−→ C2H5OH Charnley et al. (1995)

(2a) C2H5OH (ET+) + H2CO −→ HC(OH)OC2H + H2 Charnley et al. (1995)
(2b) HCOHOC2H + e−→ C2H5OCHO (EF) + H

(3a) C2H5OH (ET+) + HCOOH −→ HC(OH)OC2H + H2O Taquet et al. (2016)
(3b) HC(OH)OC2H + NH3−→ C2H5OCHO (EF) + NH

Grain-surface chemistry

(4a) HCO + 2H −→ CH3O Garrod et al. (2008)
(4b) CH3O + HCO −→ CH3OCHO (MF) & Belloche et al. (2009)
(4c) CH3OCHO (MF) + −→ CH2OCHO
(4d) CH2OCHO + CH3−→ C2H5OCHO (EF)

(5a) HCO + 2H −→ CH2OH Garrod et al. (2008)
(5b) CH2OH + CH3−→ C2H5OH (ET) & Belloche et al. (2009)
(5c) C2H5OH (ET) + −→ C2H5O
(5d) C2H5O + HCO −→ C2H5OCHO (EF)
