The first direct measurements on the reaction of methyl radicals with formaldehyde have been made using a molecular modulation spectrometer. These measurements have been complemented by product studies and a simple kinetic analysis to extract the rate constant which is satisfied by k5=(1.4 ± 0.1)× 10–12 exp (–29.1 ± 0.4 kJ mol–1/RT) in the range 500 ⩽T/K ⩽ 603.
