Fujimoto–Belleau reaction
Overview
The Fujimoto–Belleau reaction is a chemical reaction that forms cyclic α-substituted α,β-unsaturated ketones from enol lactones. The reaction was discovered in 1951 by George I. Fujimoto and Bernard Belleau. Belleau used this reaction to synthesize 1-methyl-3-keto-1,2,3,9,10,10a-hexahydrophenanthrene from a ketoacid starting material and Fujimoto demonstrated that steroids could be synthesized from naturally occurring lactone species using this method as well.
