Ozonolysis of simple alkenes including ethene, propene, isobutene and isoprene was carried out in a 570 l spherical glass reactor. Reactant concentrations were in the range 2-8 ppm in total pressures of 1 atm of air. The effect of added CO, HCHO and of variable amounts of water vapor was investigated by means of FTIR, GC and HPLC. The mechanism for the ozonolysis of the different alkenes was deduced from the yields of the products such as CO, CO{sub 2}, carbonyl compounds and organic hydroperoxides. Results will be compared with the currently established Criegee mechanism, in particular the formation and reactions of the RRCOO intermediates.
