Abstract

remarkably stable yellow, crystalline substance. Spectral data (see Experimental Section) indicate that 1 exists predominantly as the oxepin valence tautomer. Deuterium-labeled 1 (6) that contained 80% 2H at C4 and 20% 2H at C5 was prepared from 52 by the same procedure for preparation of 1 from 2.
