Theoretical and kinetic studies of H-abstraction from diisopropyl ether by key radicals: implications for combustion chemistry.

H-abstraction by reactive radicals OH, HO2, H, and CH3 governs diisopropyl ether (DIPE) oxidation kinetics, with preferential attack at α-carbon sites adjacent to the ether oxygen. Current kinetic models exhibit significant uncertainties due to scarc…
