Mechanism of the Photochemical Isomerization and Oxidation of 2-Butenedial: A Theoretical Study

Under tropospheric conditions, 2-butenedial is photochemically removed to produce secondary organic aerosol. Upon solar irradiation in the lower troposphere, the main photochemical products are ketene-enol (a key intermediate product), furanones, and maleic anhydride. The oxidative reaction mechanis...
