Biosynthesis of Steroids “Biosynthesis” of steroids involves both addition of carbocation to alkene (as seen in cationic polymerization) and carbocation rearrangements. (The next 10 slides show the mechanistic steps in the conversion of squalene oxide to lanosterol and asks what types of reactions are occurring.)
