Hi everyone. My first post here. :D

 

I had trouble figuring this problem out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

The problem asks to use Robinson annulation reaction to synthesize this compound. The books gives a hint about having an intermediate Michael addition product.

Thanks in advance.

Yes a Michael followed by an intramolecular aldol, followed by dehydration
