ORGANIC HELP!!Draw the structure of the product formed when the following compound is heated in aqueous base.

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-04-15] [Hit: ]

Any help is appreciated.-Both enolates will form, because they can. The five membered ring aldol cyclization will occur much faster making it seem as though only one enolization was taking place.......

There is link to the picture.

Am I right in understanding that the carbon next to the aldehyde is has no alpha-proton. So the enolate will form in the ketone. And I am assuming that the 2 carson from the left will be where the enolate will form? I really can't figure this one out.

Any help is appreciated.
