Rate coefficients for consumption of ground-state oxygen atoms by reaction with 1,3-butadiene have been measured using the high-temperature photochemistry (HTP) technique. The oxygen atom were generated by either laser photolysis of SO[sub 2] or flash photolysis of O[sub 2] or CO[sub 2], and the relative atom concentrations were monitored by resonance fluorescence. The data are well fitted by the expression k(283--1016 K) = 9.7 [times] 10[sup [minus]16] (T/K)[sup 1.46] exp(432 K/T) cm[sup 3] molecule[sup [minus]1] s[sup [minus]1] with 2[sigma] precision limits varying from [+-]7% to [+-]11%, depending upon temperature, and corresponding 2[sigma] accuracy limits of [+-]21% to [+-]23%. Good agreement is found with earlier isolated elementary reaction rate measurements for the 297--488 K range. The combined data are best represented by the expression k(283--1016 K) = 1.0 [times] 10[sup [minus]15] (T/K)[sup 1.45] exp(432 K/T) cm[sup 3] molecule[sup [minus]1] s[sup [minus]1] with the same precision and accuracy limits as above. Comparison of this result to simple transition state theory calculations and structural arguments indicate that O-atom addition to the double bonds dominates over the whole temperature range investigated. This is confirmed by comparing rate coefficients for abstraction of vinylic H to the present results. 19 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab.
