The Mystery of the Benzene‐Oxide/Oxepin Equilibrium—Heavy‐Atom Tunneling Reversed by Solvent Interactions

The equilibrium between benzene oxide (1) and oxepin (2) is of large importance for understanding the degradation of benzene in biological systems and in the troposphere. Our studies reveal that at cryogenic temperatures, this equilibration is governed by rare heavy‐atom tunneling. In solid argon at...
