Abstract:The potential energy surface (PES) of the oxidative pathways and unimolecular decomposition of
CH3CH2C(O)OCH2CH2O radical formed from ethyl propionate has been investigated in details using
ab initio density functional method. In present study, it is revealed that five major decomposition
pathways with their kinetic and thermodynamics parameters. The geometries of reactants, transition
states and product radicals were optimized using the model DFT method M06-2X along with the
6-31+G(d,p) basis set. The mechani… Show more
