The oxidation of volatile organic compounds in the atmosphere produces organic hydroperoxides (ROOHs) that typically possess not only -OOH but also other functionalities such as -OH and -C(=O). Because of their high hydrophilicity and low volatility, such multifunctionalized ROOHs are expected to be taken up in atmospheric condensed phases such as aerosols and fog/cloud droplets. However, the characteristics of ROOHs that control their fates and lifetimes in liquid phases are poorly understood. Here, we report a study of the liquid-phase decomposition kinetics of multifunctionalized alpha-alkoxyalkyl-hydroperoxides (alpha-AHs) that possessed an ether, a carbonyl, a hydroperoxide, and two hydroxy groups. These ROOHs were synthesized by ozonolysis of alpha-terpineol in water in the presence of 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol, or 1,5-pentanediol. Their decomposition products were detected as chloride anion adducts by electrospray mass spectrometry as a function of reaction time. Experiments using (H2O)-O-18 and D2O revealed that hemiacetal species were alpha-AH decomposition products that further transformed into other products. The result that the rate coefficients (k) of the decomposition of C-15 alpha-AHs increased exponentially from pH 5.0 to 3.9 was consistent with an H+-catalyzed decomposition mechanism. The temperature dependence of k and an Arrhenius plot yielded activation energies (E-a) of 15.7 +/- 0.8, 15.0 +/- 2.4, and 15.9 +/- 0.3 kcal mol(-1) for the decomposition of alpha-AHs derived from the reaction of alpha-terpineol CIs with 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol, and 1,5-pentanediol, respectively. The determined E-a values were compared with those of related ROOHs. We found that alkyl chain length is not a critical factor for the decomposition mechanism, whereas the presence of additional -OH groups would modulate the reaction barriers to decomposition via the formation of hydrogen-bonding with surrounding water molecules. The derived E-a values for the decomposition of the multifunctionalized, terpenoid-derived alpha-AHs will facilitate atmospheric modeling by serving as representative values for ROOHs in atmospheric condensed phases.
