In this paper we report on the kinetics of hydrogen abstraction for the OH + alkene reaction class, using thereaction class transition state theory (RC-TST) combined with the linear energy relationship (LER) and thebarrier height grouping (BHG) approaches. Parameters for the RC-TST were derived from theoreticalcalculations using a set of 15 reactions representing the hydrogen abstractions from the terminal and nonterminalcarbon sites of the double bond of alkene compounds. Both the RC-TST/LER, where only reaction energy isneeded at either density functional theory BH&HLYP or semiempirical AM1 levels, and RC-TST/BHG,where no additional information is required, are found to be promising methods for predicting rate constantsfor a large number of reactions in this reaction class. Detailed error analyses show that, when compared toexplicit theoretical calculations, the averaged systematic errors in the calculated rate constants using both theRC-TST/LER and RC-TST/BHG methods are less than 25% in the temperature range 300-3000 K. Theestimated rate constants using these approaches are in good agreement with available data in the literature.
