Peroxy radical isomerization in the oxidation of isoprene

Crounse, J. D., F. Paulot, H. G. Kjaergaard, and P. Wennberg (2011), Peroxy radical isomerization in the oxidation of isoprene, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 13, 13607-13613, doi:10.1039/c1cp21330j.
Abstract: 

We report experimental evidence for the formation of C5-hydroperoxyaldehydes (HPALDs) from 1,6-H-shift isomerizations in peroxy radicals formed from the hydroxyl radical (OH) oxidation of 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene (isoprene).
