Formation yields of methacrolein (MAC), methyl vinyl ketone (MVK), and 3-methyl furan (3MF) from the hydroxyl radical (OH) initiated oxidation of isoprene were investigated under NO_x-free conditions (NO_x = NO + NO₂) at 50 掳C and 1 atm in a quartz reaction chamber coupled to a mass spectrometer. Yields of the primary products were measured at various OH and hydroperoxy (HO₂) radical concentrations and were found to decrease as the HO₂-to-isoprene-based peroxy radical (ISORO₂) concentration ratio increases. This is likely the result of a competition between ISORO₂ self- and cross-reactions that lead to the formation of the primary products, with reactions between these peroxy radicals and HO₂ which can lead to the formation of peroxides. Under conditions with HO₂/ISORO₂ ratios close to 0.1, yields of MVK (15.5% 卤 1.4%) and MAC (13.0% 卤 1.2%) were higher than the yields of MVK (8.9% 卤 0.9%) and MAC (10.9% 卤 1.1%) measured under conditions with HO₂/ISORO₂ ratios close to 1. This radical dependence of the yields was reproduced reasonably well by an explicit model of isoprene oxidation, suggesting that the model is able to reproduce the observed products yields under a realistic range of atmospheric HO₂/ISORO₂ ratios.
