Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) emerged during the last decade as a reliable tool for the absolute configuration (AC) determination of organic compounds. The principles, instrumentation, and methodology applied prior to early 2013 were recently reviewed by us. Since VCD is a very dynamic field, the aim of this review is to update VCD advances for the AC assignment of terpenoids, aromatic compounds, alkaloids, and other natural products for the 2013-2014 period, when VCD was applied to the AC assignment of some 70 natural products. In addition, although discovered in 2012, a brief introduction to the VCD exciton coupling approach and its applications in natural products AC assignment is presented.

A synthesis of (±)-strempeliopine (II) is described, the key step of which is the stereoselective reductive rearrangement of 18-methylene-1,2-dehydroaspidospermidine (XI). The absolute configuration of the natural (-)-base II was determined as (2S, 7R, 20R, 21R) on the basis of its synthesis from (+)-18-methylenevincadifformine (XVII) the configuration of which was derived from a comparison of circular dichroism properties of bases with a β-anilinoacrylate chromophore. The biogenesis of the alkaloids of the schizozygane type is discussed.
