โฆ Synopsis
The 2,3-dihydrooxepin ring opens upon deprotonation with strong base presumably through an allylic anion which is predicted to be 15 kcahmol lower in energy than the vinylic anion. Allylic deprotonation occurs with ally1 angle expansion whereas vinylic deprotonation results in vinyl angle
