Thermal rate coefficients for the hydrogen abstraction reactions of prenol (3-methyl-2-butenol) by a hydrogen atom were calculated with the multipath canonical variational theory with small-curvature tunneling (MP-CVT/SCT). The conformational search was performed with a dual-level approach, and the multistructural torsional anharmonicity effects were corrected through the rovibrational partition function calculated with the multistructural method based on a coupled torsional potential (MS-T(C)). This methodology allows us to estimate the thermal rate constants in the temperature range of 200-2500 K and fit them into two analytical expressions. Differences between the number of conformations on the torsional potential energy surfaces for prenol and the transition state decrease the thermal rate constants for the H-abstraction at the α carbon. An opposite behavior was detected for the abstractions on the δ site. The product branching ratios were calculated using single-structure and multipath approaches. The product distributions from the former are shown to be inadequate for studying the mechanism under combustion conditions. The values estimated from MP-CVT/SCT rate coefficients indicated that the radicals from (Rα) and (Rδ)/(Rδ') are formed in considerable amounts. These species are fundamental in comprehending the inhibition and promotion of the autoignition phenomena.
