This organic chemistry video tutorial provides a basic introduction into the robinson annulation mechanism which is a combination of a michael addition reaction and an intramolecular aldol reaction. The robinson annulation reaction combines a ketone with an alpha beta unsaturated ketone to produce a 1,5 dicarbonyl compound which undergoes a cyclic aldol reaction and dehydration to produce a cyclic alpha beta unsaturated ketone.
