Surprisingly long lifetime of methacrolein oxide, an isoprene derived Criegee intermediate, under humid conditions

Methacrolein oxide is one of the ozonolysis products of isoprene present in our atmosphere, but its relevance under humid conditions is not fully understood. Here, UV-vis spectroscopy and reaction kinetics studies show much longer lifetimes of anti-methacrolein oxide than previously thought, suggest...
