Summary
The major cyclic ethers formed in the cool flame oxidation of reference fuels (normal heptane, isooctane, and normal decane) have been identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The spectra obtained by electronic ionization are presented. Since these ethers are not available commercially and their mass spectra are missing from standard mass spectrometry libraries the present mass spectra could be used as references in future work.
