Kaurane is a parent hydride used in the IUPAC nomenclature of natural products and also, distinctly, in CAS nomenclature. It is a diterpene with a rigid four-ring structure and six chiral centres.

The stereochemistry of the six chiral centres is defined by convention: however, IUPAC and CAS use different conventional stereochemistry, which also leads to a slight difference in numbering between the two systems. IUPAC conventional kaurane has (5S,8S,9S,10S,13S,15R)-stereochemistry, and is drawn with the five-membered ring receding into the plane of the image.[1] CAS conventional kaurane has (5S,8R,9S,10S,13R,15R)-stereochemistry, and is drawn with the five-membered ring protruding from the plane of the image.[2] Carbon-19 (one of the two methyl groups attached to carbon-4) is on the same side of the molecule as the five-membered ring in both systems: hence it is receding into the plane of the image in IUPAC nomenclature and protruding from the plane of the image in CAS nomenclature.
