Organosulfates (OSs), formed by reaction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and sulfur species, can undergo heterogeneous oxidation by hydroxy radicals (˙OH). The potential to derive functionalized and fragmented products varies among different OSs.
Most physical properties of short chain organosulfate aerosol cannot be approximated by salts or similar sized organics.
This review highlights examples of synthetic organic chemistry used in the context of studying terpene-derived oxidation products in the atmosphere, with a focus on species produced from biogenic isoprene, pinene and caryophyllene.
A new mechanistic route for the formation of organosulfates in the gas phase of atmosphere.
An electrooxidation direct difunctionalization of alkynes with sulfonyl hydrazides has been developed for the construction of sulfonyl alkenyl sulfates in the absence of metal catalysts and a stoichiometric amount of oxidants.
