What enone product would you expect from aldol condensation of each of the following compounds?

The Stork enamine reaction and the intramolecular aldol reaction can be carried out in sequence to allow the synthesis of cyclohexanones. For example, the reaction of the pyrrolidine enamine of cyclohexanone with 3-buten-2-one, followed by enamine hydrolysis and base treatment, yields the product indicated. Write each step, and show the mechanism of each.

Treatment of a 1,3-diketone such as 2,4-pentanedione with base does not give an aldol condensation product. Explain.

Intramolecular aldol cyclization of 2,5-heptanedione with aqueous NaOH yields a mixture of two enone products in the approximate ratio 9;1. Write their structures, and show how each is formed.
