Conformer-Dependent Reactivity of Carbonyl Oxides Leads to Dramatically Different Atmospheric Fates (IMAGE)
Caption
Two reaction pathways. Left: the reaction of anti- CH3CHOO conformer with dimethylamine (DMA) follows a downhill energy path. Right: a pre-reactive complex (PRC) presents a kinetic bottleneck for the reaction of syn- CH3CHOO with DMA.
