The biosynthesis of estrogens from androgens proceeds via three enzymatic hydroxylations, of which the first two take place on the C-19 methyl group and convert it to aldehyde. The final and rate-determining hydroxylation occurs at the 2β position, and the product rapidly and nonenzymatically collapses to an estrogen.
