2,3,4,5-Tetrahedro-1-benzoxepin (8) and its 3-substituted derivatives (9–13) have been studied by 1H and 13C dynamic nuclear magnetic resonance in a few solvent systems. The results show that, while 8 and its methyl derivative 9 exist solely in chair forms (C for 8 and Ce:Ca (96:4) for 9), the twist-boat (TB) conformation contributes significantly to the conformational equilibria of the derivatives 3-methoxy 10 (Ca:Ce:TB, 70:20:10), 3,3-dimethyl 11 (C:TB, 90:10), 3,3-methylmethoxy 12(Ca:Ce:TB, 89:4:7), and 3,3-dimethoxy 13 (C:TB, 92:8). The analysis of several factors (steric, electrostatic, and electronic) on the conformational behaviour of these molecules shows why the TB form is a viable conformational alternative to destabilized chair forms in this benzoxepin system.
