'''Oxepane''' is a heterocyclic chemical compound with the formula C₆H₁₂O: a cycloheptane in which one methylene group is replaced by oxygen.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Oxepane |title=Oxepane (Compound) |author=<!--Not stated--> |date= |website=PubChem |publisher=National Library of Medicine |access-date=May 10, 2020 |quote=}}</ref>

Oxepane can be polymerized by cationic initiators such as (C₂H₅)₃OSbCl₆ to form a crystalline solid with a melting point around 56–58 °C.<ref>{{cite journal| title = Ring-opening Polymerization of Oxepane| journal = Polymer Journal| volume = 3| year = 1972| issue = 1| pages = 40–43| issn = 1349-0540| author1 = Takeo Saegusa| author2 = Toshiaki Shiota| author3 = Shu-ichi Matsumoto| author4 = Hiroyasu Fujii| doi=10.1295/polymj.3.40| doi-access = free}}</ref>
