Theoretical study on the mechanism of the reaction acetone plus OH: Channels towards the formation of methanol
Two possible pathways for the acetone + OH reaction towards the formation of methanol have been examined theoretically. Our results show that both channels are characterized by a substantial activation barrier and reject the possibility of a significant CH3CO + CH3OH channel.
