Answer
![Magnesium bis[(2E)-4-ethoxy-4-oxo-2-butenoate]](https://static.chemtradehub.com/structs/839/83918-60-9-67fc.webp "Magnesium bis[(2E)-4-ethoxy-4-oxo-2-butenoate]")
Magnesium bis[(2E)-4-ethoxy-4-oxo-2-butenoate] is typically synthesized by reacting magnesium acetate with (2E)-4-ethoxy-4-oxo-2-butenoic acid under mild conditions. The reaction involves the formation of a complex between magnesium and the carboxylate groups of the acid, followed by the removal of water and ethanol as by-products. The yield and selectivity are generally good under these conditions.
