Formation of Secondary Organic Aerosols Through Photooxidation of Isoprene

TL;DR: Detailed organic analysis of natural aerosols from the Amazonian rain forest showed considerable quantities of previously unobserved polar organic compounds, which were identified as a mixture of two diastereoisomeric 2-methyltetrols: 2-methylthreitol and 2- methylerythritol, which can be explained by OH radical–initiated photooxidation of isoprene.
