antiaromatic?
Is this compound antiaromtic (and why the epoxide might be favoured)? John Riemann Soong (talk) 19:23, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I think it slightly deviates from planarity so I think it's not antiaromatic (or at least not as much as it were, were it planar, c.f. cyclobutadiene). Alfa-ketosav (talk) 17:51, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

K of benzene oxide <=> oxepin
What is the equilibrium constant for benzene oxide <=> oxepin? JGHFunRun (talk) 01:32, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
 * By theoretical calculations in gas-phase, they're equal energy (within error of calculations). Experimentally it's highly solvent dependent (even which is more stable than the other). A good recent lead ref is:
