General description

2-Methyl-3-buten-2-ol is a biogenic volatile organic compound emitted by pine trees and a potential precursor of atmospheric secondary organic aerosol in forested regions. It is an important component of the pheromone of the bark beetle Ips typographus.

Application

2-Methyl-3-buten-2-ol was used to study the kinetics of the gas-phase reaction of OH radicals with 3-methyl-2-butenal.
Reported to be an important component of the pheromone of the bark beetle Ips typographus.

2-Methyl-3-buten-2-ol (MBO) is an important biogenic hydrocarbon emitted in large quantities by pine forests. Atmospheric photooxidation of MBO is known to lead to oxygenated compounds, such as glycolaldehyde, which is the precursor to glyoxal. Recent studies have shown that the

Quantum mechanical calculations were used to determine the structure and energetics of peroxy radicals (P1 and P2) and alkoxy radicals (A1-A3) formed in the atmospheric degradation of 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol. At the level of theory employed (B3LYP/6-31G(d,p)) low energy conformers were identified
