>Surface formation rates of ethyl formate, methyl formate and ethanol are not strictly dependent on methanol abundance in the ices, but rather on the rate of formation of its photodissociation products, CH3O, CH2OH, and CH3.
This is all over my head, but is that close to what you're looking for? Most articles I'm seeing focus on quantum tunnelling & it's impact on chemical reactions involving methanol.
