(Received 20 December 2011; accepted 10 January 2012; published online 24 January 2012)

We report a chemically accurate global potential energy surface for the HOCO system based on high-level ab initio calculations at ∼35 000 points. The potential energy surface is shown to reproduce important stationary points and minimum energy paths. Quasi-classical trajectory calculations indicated a good agreement with experimental data.
