Alkanes are important constituents of gasoline fuel and vehicle exhaust, with branched alkanes comprising a significant fraction of the total alkanes observed in urban areas. Products of the gas-phase reactions of OH radicals with 2,2,4-trimethylpentane and 2,2,4-trimethylpentane-d18 in the presence of NO at 298+/-2 K and atmospheric pressure of air have been investigated using gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC-FID), combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and in situ atmospheric pressure ionization tandem mass spectrometry (API-MS). Acetone, 2-methylpropanal, and 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone were identified and quantified by GC-FID from 2,2,4-trimethylpentane with molar formation yields of 54+/-7%, 26+/-3%, and 5.1+/-0.6%, respectively; upper limits to the formation yields of acetaldehyde, 2,2-dimethylpropanal, and 4,4-dimethyl-2-pentanone were obtained. Additional products observed from 2,2,4-trimethylpentane by API-MS and API-MS/MS analyses using positive and negative ion modes were hydroxy products of molecular weight 130 and 144, a product of molecular weight 128 (attributed to a C8-carbonyl), and hydroxynitrates of molecular weight 135, 177, and 191 (attributed to HOC4H8ONO2, HOC7H14ONO2, and HOC8H16-ONO2, respectively). Formation of HOC8H16ONO2 and HOC7H14-ONO2 is consistent with the observation of products of molecular weight 207 (HOC8D16ONO2) and 191 (HOC7D14-ONO2), respectively, in the API-MS analyses of the 2,2,4-trimethylpentane-d18 reaction (-OD groups rapidly exchange to -OH groups under our experimental conditions). These product data allow the reaction pathways to be delineated to a reasonable extent, and the reaction mechanism is discussed.
