Yes but 1 ene wipl be formed as alcoholic koh i. E. Methanol + koh is a very good reducing agent and pulls the hydrogen at the 4th c atom towards itself and as a result the carbon atom develops a negative charge or a pie electron and tends to form a pie or a double bond with its neighboring carbon atom and thus leaves out the chlorine atom forming hcl along with but1ene. And as a result the last carbon atom get sp2 hybridised
