IUPAC
CAS
The two different structures referred to as kaurane.

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 conventional numbering of kaurane: for the numbering of the methyl groups and C-18 and C-19, see text.

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.

The name ent-kaurane is sometimes used to refer to the CAS conventional kaurane,[3] and so to distinguish it from the IUPAC stereochemistry, in particular by the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB).[4] It is also possible to explicitly specify the stereochemistry at carbons 8 and 13, giving:

  • (8S,13S)-kaurane (IUPAC conventional)
  • (8R,13R)-kaurane (CAS conventional)

Kaurane diterpenes have been extracted from a variety of plant species,[3][5] in particular Stevia sp., the source of the steviol glycosides stevioside and rebaudioside-A that have been used as artificial sweetners.[6] They are intermediates on the gibberellic acid pathway to several plant hormones known as gibberellins:[7] gibberellic acid is biosynthesized from ent-kaurene by six successive oxidations catalyzed by ent-kaurene oxidase (EC 1.14.13.78) and ent-kaurenic acid oxidase (EC 1.14.13.79).[4]
