The methanolysis of Z,E-1,2,3,4-tetrabromo-1-butene in the presence of strong bases leads predominantly to the formation of the ortho ester 1,1,1-trimethoxy-2,3-butadiene and the ether-acetal 1,1,4-trimethoxy-2-butyne.In the case of E-2,3-dibromo-1,4-dichloro-2-butene it leads predominantly to the ortho ester.During the reaction 10-12 linear unsaturated products containing 1-3 methoxyl groups are formed as side products.
