The gas‐phase reactions of six amides, formamide, N ‐methyl formamide, N , N ‐dimethyl formamide, acetamide, N ‐methyl acetamide and N , N ‐dimethyl acetamide with the atmospheric oxidants OH radicals and Cl atoms, but in a number of cases also with NO 3 radicals and ozone, are presented and discussed. Kinetic and mechanistic information available from previous experimental work is combined with new kinetic and product information from this study, obtained in a photoreactor using in situ FTIR spectrometry, to elucidate the gas‐phase photooxidation mechanisms of the amides and assess potential environmental implications.
