A stereoselective nickel‐catalyzed [2+2] cycloaddition of ene‐allenes is reported. This transformation encompasses a broad range of ene‐allene substrates, thus providing efficient access to fused cyclobutanes from easily accessed π‐components. A simple and inexpensive first‐row catalytic system comprised of [Ni(cod) 2 ] and dppf was used in this process, thus constituting an attractive approach to synthetically challenging cyclobutane frameworks under mild reaction conditions.
