RR-GC-FID technique was used to investigate the rate coefficient (k) for the reaction of vinyl butyrate (VB) with Cl atoms in the temperature range of 268 and 363 K at 760 Torr of N2. The k at 298 K was measured to be cm3 molecule−1 s−1. To comprehend the reaction pathway, and kinetic parameters associated with the title reaction were assessed computationally using CVT/SCT/ISPE method at CCSD(T)//MP2/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. Product analysis was performed using GC–MS and GC-IR. Cumulative Atmospheric Lifetime (CAL), Radiative Forcing (RF), Global Warming Potential (GWP) and Photochemical Ozone Creation Potential (POCP) were estimated.
