In F. Dean Toste's 2007 total synthesis of (+)-Fawcettimine (Angew Chem, 46 (40), 7671-7673), a Robinson Annulation was a critical first step in the reaction of ketoester (1) with crotonaldehyde (2) to provide 3 on a multi-gram scale in high yield with an important stereocenter set (R) in high ee (88%) by the use of a proline-derived chiral catalyst. Not worrying about the stereocenters, a detailed, step-wise, arrow pushing mechanisms for the Robinson Annulation to provide 3 is shown. Select the best answer that fills

reaction of ketoester (1) with crotonaldehyde (2) to provide 3 on a multi-gram
scale in high yield with an important stereocenter set (R) in high ee (88%) by
the use of a proline-derived chiral catalyst. Not worrying about the
stereocenters, a detailed, step-wise, arrow pushing mechanisms for the
Robinson Annulation to provide 3 is shown. Select the best answer that fills
in both missing components correctly in the boxes shown for 1.) and 2.).
The R group is an allyl group in all answers.
