Chiral cyclobuteneamides made easy : Double chloride abstraction from the ruthenium/PNNP complex 1 in the presence of unsaturated β‐keto esters 2 gives the dicationic adducts [Ru( 2 )(PNNP)] 2+ ( 3 ) that catalyze the [2+2] cycloaddition of a variety of ynamides 4 to produce cyclobuteneamides 5 with high yield and enantioselectivity (see scheme).
