Absolute configuration of optically active 7,12‐bis(dicyanomethylene)‐7,12‐dihydrobenz[ a ]anthracene ( 1 ) with interconvertible planar chirality was determined by a comparison of experimental and theoretical circular dichroism (CD) spectra. Upon standing at ambient temperatures, 1 was found to spontaneously racemize, the rates of which were assessed through the separation profiles of chiral HPLC at 5–20°C and also from the CD spectral decay profiles at the same temperatures. Mechanism of the racemization was discussed. Chirality, 2008. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
