Isoprene's Reactions

This page is the Isoprene Mechanism Work Bench in Harvey's Kinetics Lab.

Isoprene

Other than methane, isoprene has the world's largest emissions

Reaction with Hydroxyl Radical

One of the products produced when isoprene reacts with OH is a multi-functional carbonyl 1-hydroxy-3-methyl-3-buten-2-one.
