It takes place between an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound and a carbonyl compound. The enolate formation takes place from carbonyl compound which attacks the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound to form 1,5-dicarbonyl compound. This compound undergoes intramolecular aldol condensation which leads to the formation of a ring.
