The 3′R,4 ‘R absolute configuration (AC) of the angular-type pyranocoumarins (-)-3′,4′-di- O-acetylkhellactone (2), (-)-4′- O-acetyl-3′- O-angeloylkhellactone (3), (+)-3′- O-acetyl-4- O-isobutyroylkhellactone (4), and (-)-3′- O-angeloyl-4′- O-senecioylkhellactone (5), isolated from the aerial parts of Prionosciadum thapsoides, was assigned by vibrational circular dichroism exciton chirality (VCDEC), and confirmed by comparison of their VCD frequencies with those calculated using DFT at the B3LYP/DGDZVP level. This again reveals that AC assignments based on optical rotation data are not very confident. Evaluation of Flack and Hooft parameters obtained after single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of 3, independently confirmed this AC.

The absolute configuration of the pentacyclic ichthyotoxin stypotriol, a constituent of Stypopodium zonale, was deduced to be 3S,5R,8R,9R,10S,13S,14S-(-)-1 by vibrational circular dichroism spectroscopy of the derived triacetate 2 in comparison to DFT B3LYP/DGDZVP calculations. Compound 2, C33H46O7 having 300 electrons, is the largest natural product successfully studied by VCD to date.

The title spirocyclic dilactam (1S,7S)-7-methyl-6,9-diazatricyclo[6,3,0,01,6]tridecan-5,10-dione (I), a molecule designed to contain non-planar amide groups, has been synthesized from an optically active precursor of known absolute configuration. The relative and absolute configuration have been determined by X-ray diffraction. The conformation of the compound has been investigated by X-ray, 1H and 13C NMR, electronic and vibrational circular dichroism. The compound possesses moderately non-planar amide groups in the two rings of nonequal geometry. The electronic CD is dominated by inherent chirality of the amide chromophores. The dilactams I and II ((1S,6S)-6-methyl-5,8-diazatricyclo[6,3,0,01,5]undecan-4,9-dione – having five-membered rings) exhibit monosignate amide I VCD and strong VCD bands in the mid-ir region.

The crystal structure of the alkaloid aristoserratine,* C20H24N2O, has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 295 K, the structure being refined to a residual of 0.034 for 1107 independent 'observed' reflections. Crystals are monoclinic, P21, a 14.836(5), b 8.568(3), c 6.633(3) �, β 98.05(3)�, Z 2. The relative configuration is established and, by inference, by comparison of the circular dichroism spectrum with that of aristoteline, the absolute configuration is assigned.

The absolute configuration of the diterpenoid 9,12-cyclomulin-13-ol (1), a constituent of Azorella and Laretia species, has been established by vibrational circular dichroism spectroscopy in combination with density functional theory calculations. The obtained normal diterpene absolute configuration confirms that of azorellanol (2), which was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction.
