Unraveling cool-flame chemistry in tetrahydropyran oxidation: SVUV-PEPICO spectroscopy and computational insights into oxygenated heterocycle-dependent reactivity
Cyclic ethers, such as tetrahydropyran (THP), are promising biofuels derived from lignocellulosic-biomass and serve as key intermediates in the oxidation of both biofuels and fossil fuels, yet their low-temperatures oxidation mechanism—particularly the role of heterocycle conformation in chain-branching pathways—remains poorly understood. In this study, we employed synchrotron-based vacuum ultraviolet photoelectron photoion coincidence (SVUV-PEPICO) spectroscopy to investigate THP oxidation in a jet-stirred reactor (JSR). The unique sensitivity technique to molecular structure enabled the discrimination of isomers, specifically keto-hydroperoxides (KHPs) and alkenal-hydroperoxides (AnHPs), revealing how ring conformation influences the reactivity. Beyond isomer identification, we detected AnHP-derived decomposition products (e.g., dialdehydes and enals), linking their formation to heterocycle-specific chain-branching pathways. Quantitative analysis of hydroperoxide speciation, based on mass-selected threshold photoelectron spectroscopy (TPES) and total ion yield (TIY) measurements, provided experimental constraints for kinetic modeling. An updated THP oxidation mechanism was constructed to accurately reproduce both our experimental data and prior literature results, resolving discrepancies in predicted intermediate mole fractions. By combining isomer-resolved spectroscopy with kinetic modeling, this work advances the understanding of how heterocycle ring conformation governs low-temperature reactivity, a critical factor in biofuel combustion efficiency and cool-flame chemistry.
