A direct highly diastereo‐ and enantioselective asymmetric doubly vinylogous 1,6‐Michael addition reaction of 3‐methyl‐4‐nitro‐5‐alkenyl isoxazoles with γ ‐substituted deconjugated butenolides has been successfully developed with the help of Cinchona derived squaramides. This novel strategy has been utilized to synthesize a range of enantiopure γ,γ ‐disubstituted butenolide molecules bearing remote contiguous quaternary and tertiary stereocenters in yield up to 76% with ee up to 98% and dr up to ≥20:1.
