Base induced isomerization of 1-benzoxepin-5(2H)-one (1a) yields 1-benzoxepin-5(4H)-one (4a) which gives the unsaturated alcohol 5a on treatment with Ce(III)chloride/sodiumboranate.Subsequent reaction of 5a with p-toluenesulfonylchloride and then, without isolation of the intermediate, with base yields 1-benzoxepine (6a).With tetracyanoethylene 6a forms the corresponding diene-adduct.The same reaction sequence was realized in the analogous sulfur series, yielding 1-benzothiepine (6b). - Keywords: Double-Bond Isomerization, Seven-Membered Ring Ketones, Reduction, Dehydration, Heterocyclic Seven-Membered Ring Compounds
