The gas‐phase reaction of bornyl acetate (bicyclo[2,2,1]‐heptan‐2‐ol‐1,7,7‐trimethyl‐acetate) with hydroxyl radical has been studied. A relative method was used to determine the rate constant for this reaction, with n ‐octane as reference compound. Methyl nitrite photolysis experiments were carried out in an environmental smog chamber at atmospheric pressure and (294±2) K. The rate constant determined for bornyl acetate is k =(13.9±2.2)×10 −12 cm 3 molecule −1 s −1 . The experimental rate constant has been compared with the rate constants calculated with the structure‐activity relationship (SAR) and with the evolution trend of the acetate rate constants. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
