A multiplexed chemical kinetics photoionization mass spectrometer was employed to identify the products of Isopentanol oxidation initiated by either OH or Cl radical, in the 550-750 K temperature range, using the synchrotron radiation produced at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Reaction products and intermediates are identified based on their ionization energies, photoionization efficiency curves, and time behavior. Branching ratios are calculated at different temperatures. A proposed reaction schematic is presented.
