The Wikipedia page:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meldrum%27s_acid identifies the reaction as a condensation reaction between malonic acid and acetone.  It also gives a schematic of the reaction.   Can you use it to determine the mechanism based on how condensation reactions go?  According to the Forum Rules{click}, we want to see your attempt.

Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
