Oxepin is an oxygen-containing heterocycle consisting of a seven-membered ring with three double bonds. It exists as an equilibrium mixture with benzene oxide. The oxepin-benzene oxide system has fluctuating bonds in which the equilibrium can be shifted to one extreme or the other by suitable substituents.[1]
