Molecular dynamics-guided reaction discovery reveals endoperoxide-to-alkoxy radical isomerization as key branching point in α-pinene ozonolysis by Huan Yang, Umberto Raucci, Siddharth Iyer, Galib Hasan, Thomas Golin Almeida, Shawon Barua, Anni Savolainen, Juha Kangasluoma, Matti Rissanen, Hanna Vehkamäki, Theo Kurtén

“…Our approach successfully identifies all established reaction pathways of α-pinene ozonolysis, as well as discovers multiple novel species and pathways without relying on a priori chemical knowledge. In particular, we unveil a key branching point that leads to the rapid formation of alkoxy radicals, whose high and diverse reactivity help to explain hitherto unexplained oxidation pathways suggested by mass spectral peaks observed in α-pinene ozonolysis experiments. …”
