A nitrogen analogue of the hitherto unknown cyclobutane tetraone , the title compound (2) , is formed as red‐violet crystals from the phosphorane (1) and nitrobenzene in a one‐pot reaction. The arrangement of phenyl groups indicated in the formula is confirmed by X‐ray structure analysis. (2) is reduced, e.g. by phenylhydrazine, to (3) , the first amidine of squaric acid whose N atoms are not linked in a ring.
