Azepine is an unsaturated heterocycle of seven atoms, with a nitrogen replacing a carbon at one position.12

The atoms are numbered starting with the nitrogen. The 1H-azepine isomer shown above is an unstable red oil at -78°C and rearranges on contact with acid or base to 3H-azepine with two hydrogen atoms attached to the third carbon.3
