Herein, we present a mild and efficient method for synthesizing enantioenriched tetrahydroquinoline‐fused cyclobutenes through a cascade reaction between 1,2‐dihydroquinolines and alkynones with catalysis by chiral spiro‐bicyclic bisboranes. The bisboranes served two functions: first they catalyzed a hydride transfer to convert the 1,2‐dihydroquinoline substrate to a 1,4‐dihydroquinoline, and then they activated the alkynone substrate for an enantioselective [2+2] cycloaddition reaction with the 1,4‐dihydroquinoline generated in situ.
