Models suggest that a colinear alignment of the partial epoxide C-O bond and the p-orbital from the alkenic carbon atom, at the requisite distance for carbon-carbon bond formation, is more readily achievable in a transition state that leads to the seven-membered ring than in one that results in a six-membered ring.
