4-Ethoxy-2H-oxetes 3a–c were prepared from ethoxyacetylene and alkoxy aldehydes 1a–c through MgBr2–Et2O promoted [2+ 2] cycloaddition reaction and were characterized at room temperature; their synthesis, which could occur via the formation of a chelate, establishes cycloaddition as the initial step in the formation of α, β-unsaturated esters 4a–c.
