C3H4O2 production

HCO + CH3CO → CH3COCHO -300 0.2 0 The TS for CH3COCHO → CH3CHO + CO is
→ CH2COHCHO -292 0.05 0 located 337 kJ/mol above the CH3COCHO level
→ CH3CHO + CO -304 0.75 0 so CH3COCHO cannot dissociate. The TS for
→ H2CCO + H2CO -196 0 CH3COCHO → CH2COHCHO is located 281
→ CH4 + CO + CO -322 0 kJ/mol above the CH3COCHO level so CH3COCHO
→ c-C2H4O + CO -204 0 can isomerize. However, CH3COCHO should
be favorized. The TS for CH3CHO → CH4 + CO
is located 354 kJ/mol above the CH3CHO energy,
so the CH3CHO does not dissociate.

HCO + CH2CHO → HCOCH2CHO -306 0.05 0 The TS for HCOCH2CHO → HOCHCHCHO is
→ HOCHCHCHO -335 0.2 0 located +234 kJ/mol above the HOCH2CHO level
→ C2H3OCHO -303 0.02 0 and the TS for HCOCH2CHO → CH3CHO + CO
→ CH3CHO + CO -328 0.73 0 is located 301 kJ/mol above the HOCH2CHO level
→ H2CCO + H2CO -220 0 so HOCH2CHO can isomerize but mostly not
→ CH4 + CO + CO -347 0 dissociate. The lonely electron of CH2CHO is
localized on CH2 (80%) site with a small but non
negligible contribution to oxygen (20%). So, some
C2H3OCHO should be produced.

HCO + CH2COH → CH2COHCHO -408 0.05 0 The TS for CH2COHCHO → CH3COCHO is
→ CH3COCHO -416 0.2 0 located 242 kJ/mol above the CH2COHCHO level
→ CH3CHO + CO -481 0.75 0 so CH2COHCHO can isomerize. The TS for
→ H2CCO + H2CO -312 0 CH3COCHO → CH3CHO + CO is located 337
→ CH4 + CO + CO -456 0 kJ/mol above the CH3COCHO level, so CH3COCHO
can dissociate.

HCO + CHCHOH → HOCHCHCHO -444 0.2 0 The TS for HOCHCHCHO → HCOCH2CHO is
→ HCOCH2CHO -415 0.05 0 located 263 kJ/mol above the HOCHCHCHO level
→ C2H3OH + CO -396 0.75 0 so HOCHCHCHO can isomerize but is favored.
→ HCCOH + H2CO -190 0 The TS for HCOCH2CHO → CH3CHO + CO is
→ CH4 + CO + CO -456 0 located 301 kJ/mol above the HOCH2CHO level
so HOCH2CHO can dissociate.

H + C2H3COOH → CH3CHCOOH -176 1 1000(800i) Barrier and imaginary frequency are guessed by
comparison with similar reactions.

→ CH3COCH2O -89 0 2200(900i) calculated at M06-2X/AVTZ level but for the moment
→ CH3COHCHO -201 0 3900(1200i) we consider only one type of products to take into
→ CH3COCHOH -203 0 4150(1300i) account the consumption without introducing all the
C3H5O2 isomers.

H + HOCHCHCHO → HOCH2CHCHO -107 0 2900(840i) The barriers and imaginary frequencies are
→ HOCHCHCH2O -19 0 4100(900i) calculated at M06-2X/AVTZ level but for the moment
→ HOCHCHCHOH -111 0 4000(1300i) we consider only one type of products to take into
→ HOCHCHCO + H2 -20 0 3100(1600i) account the consumption without introducing all the
→ CH3CHO + HCO -88 1 3100(1600i) C3H5O2 isomers.

H + HCOCH2CHO → CH3CHO + HCO -82 1 3000(1600i) Barrier and imaginary frequency are guessed by
comparison with similar reactions.

H + CH2COHCHO → CH3COHCHO -209 0 1100(500i) The barriers and imaginary frequencies are
→ CH3CHO + HCO -72 1 1100(500i) calculated at M06-2X/AVTZ level but for the moment
we consider only one type of products to take into
account the consumption without introducing all the
C3H5O2 isomers.

H + C2H3COCHO → CH3CHOCHO -150 0 800(630i) The barriers and imaginary frequencies are
→ CH3CHO + HCO -85 1 800(630i) calculated at M06-2X/AVTZ level but for the moment
we consider only one type of products to take into
account the consumption without introducing all the
C3H5O2 isomers.

C2H3O production

H + H2CCO → CH3CO -165 0.1 2300(680i) The barriers and imaginary frequencies are
→ CH3 + CO -120 0.3 2300(680i) calculated at M06-2X/AVTZ level. The TS for
→ CH2CHO -141 0.3 4030(930i) CH3CO → CH3 + CO is located 69 kJ/mol above
→ CH2COH -49 0.3 7000(1600i) the CH3CO energy, so a large part of CH3CO
dissociates. The TS for CH2CHO → CH3CO is
located 166 kJ/mol above the CH2CHO energy and
then CH2CHO cannot isomerize. The TS for
CH2COH → CH2CHO is located 139 kJ/mol above
the CH2COH energy, so CH2COH cannot
isomerize. See also Senosiain et al. (2006) and
Michael et al. (1979).

H + HCCOH → CH2COH -188 0.1 1840(680i) The barriers and imaginary frequencies are
→ CHCHOH -171 0.2 1920(770i) calculated at M06-2X/AVTZ level. The TS for
→ CH2CHO -281 0.7 1840(680i) CH2COH → CH2CHO is located 139 kJ/mol above
→ H2 + HCCO -129 0 the CH2COH energy, so most of the CH2COH
isomerize into CH2CHO. The TS for CHCHOH
→ CH2CHO is located 146 kJ/mol above the
CHCHOH energy, and the TS for CHCHOH →
CH2COH is located 199 kJ/mol above the
CHCHOH energy, so some CHCHOH isomerizes
into CH2CHO but not into CH2COH.

H + CH3CHO → C2H5O -69 0.25 3300(910i) The barriers and imaginary frequencies are
→ CH3CHOH -110 0.25 5040(1360i) calculated at M06-2X/AVTZ level.
→ CH3CO + H2 -61 0.25 2400(1660i) See also Hippler & Viskolcz (2002) and
→ CH2CHO + H2 -38 0.25 4900(1700i) Whytock et al. (1976).

CH2 + HCO → CO + CH3 -383 0.7 0 The TS for CH2CHO → CH3CO is located
→ CH2CHO -405 0.1 0 166 kJ/mol above the CH2CHO level,
→ c-CH2(O)CH -266 0 0 so -239 kJ/mol below the CH2 + HCO energy.
→ CH3CO -429 0.1 0
→ H2CCO + H -264 0.1 0

CH3 + CO → CH3CO -46 1 3500(420i) The barrier and imaginary frequency is
calculated at M06-2X/AVTZ level taking into
account the previous results from
Baulch et al. (2005), Anastasi & Maw (1982),
Senosiain et al. (2006), and Ding et al. (2001).
