Optically active 5-deazaflavin derivatives with an axial chirality at the N(3) position have been synthesized. Kinetics for thermal enantiomerization and X-ray crystallographic analyses of these compounds have been carried out. In addition, all absolute configurations of their enantiomers have been determined on the basis of circular dichroism spectra.
