The photolytically initiated oxidation reaction of furfural (C5H4O2, furan-2-carbaldehyde) was carried out at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) located in the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). Using the multiplex photoionization mass spectrometer, data were collected at low pressure (4 Torr) and room temperature. Data analysis was performed via characterization of reaction species photoionization spectra and kinetic traces. A reaction schematic including branching fractions determination is presented and discussed.
