Measurements of the gas-phase production rates of ..cap alpha..-(nitrooxy)acetone, propylene glycol dinitrate (PGDN), 2-hydroxypropyl nitrate (2-HPN), and 2-nitrooxy)propyl alcohol (2-NPA) in a C/sub 3/H/sub 6//N/sub 2/O/sup 5//air dark reaction and a C/sub 3/H/sub 6//NO/sub x/ air irradiation are reported. The probable operative reaction mechanisms are discussed, and the branching ratios for peroxy radical reaction with NO via RO/sub 2/ + NO ..-->.. RONO/sub 2/ vs. RO/sub 2/ + NO ..-->.. RO + NO/sub 2/ are estimated for CH/sub 3/CH(OO)CH/sub 2/OH and CH/sub 3/CH(OH)C-H/sub 2/OO radicals.
