Abstract Reactions of the hydroxyl radical, OH, with several organic species of interest in combustion chemistry have been studied near 1200 K and 1 atm in shock tube experiments in which UV absorption was used to monitor the OH concentration. Rate coefficients were measured for the reactions of OH with 2,3‐dimethylbutane, isooctane, neooctane, ethylene, propylene, acetylene, formaldehyde, methanol, and ethanol. The values were found to be (in units of 10 12 cm 3 /mol‐s): 21, 22, 18, 2.6, 9.6, 0.28, 12, 5.2, and 5.3. These measured values are compared with previous experimental results and, where appropriate, transition‐state theory calculations.
