The simulation of photooxidation reaction of acetylene by triplet nitro compounds was performed by means of the uB3LYP/6-31g+(d) quantum chemistry method. HNO2 was selected as an oxidizing agent, and acetylene was used as a substrate in quantum chemistry calculations of the reactions giving glyoxal as a product. The final product is obtained in four stages, the transition state geometry and activation energy were determined for all steps involved.
