Kauranoids and related tetracyclic diterpenoids have recently shown an increasing interest because of the discovery of new biological activities that can be modified by the introduction of a fluorine atom. In this article it is described the stereospecific fluorination of the kauranols 6 and 7 by remote functionalization at the "unactivated" C-7 position.
