Besides the widely used exciton chirality method in electronic circular dichroism, the technique has been also developed for vibrational circular dichroism (VCD). Notably, the information provided by C<img>O stretching vibrations (1680−1800 cm<sup>−1</sup>) in VCD have demonstrated high applicability. However, reported theoretical approaches have warned about the adequate interpretations of the EC phenomenon since analyzed bisignate bands could be associated with other vibrations. The current paper experimentally addresses the problem to expand the criteria for using EC data in AC determinations. Herein, the VCD exciton coupling (VCDEC) methodology is extended to the analysis of C–O stretching vibrations (1100–1300 cm<sup>−1</sup>) to uncover their possible use in AC determinations, as well as to reveal the specific contribution of the EC related to C–O vibrations when experimental parameters are considered. To this aim, naturally occurring <em>p</em>-menthene alcohols <strong>1</strong>–<strong>4</strong> isolated from <em>Ageratina glabrata</em> were previously used to prepare acetates <strong>5</strong> and <strong>6</strong>, and acetonides <strong>7</strong> and <strong>8</strong>, and now, to prepare carbonates <strong>9</strong>–<strong>11</strong>.

These experimental results were directly related to dihedral angles (<em>θ</em>) from simplistic models to establish the AC.
