Computational Study of Gas-Phase Reactions to Produce Sulfite Esters: A New Class of Sulfur Containing Molecules in the Atmosphere?

Abstract We use computational quantum chemistry to study gas-phase reactions of aldehydes with water and sulfur dioxide. We find that a new reaction leading to the formation of previously nearly unstudied sulfite esters is possible with a comparatively low barrier. The reaction c...
