Which of the following compounds can probably be prepared by a mixed aldol reaction? Show the reactants you would use in each case.

In the mixed Claisen reaction of cyclopentanone with ethyl format, a much higher yield of the desired product is obtained by first mixing the two carbonyl components and then adding a base, rather than by first mixing base with cyclopentanone and then adding ethyl format. Explain.
