An organocatalytic asymmetric process was reported for the sterically precise construction of C-4 alkenyl substituted pyrazolone derivatives bearing multiple stereoelements. A series of interesting products featuring the union of a centrally chiral pyrazolone moiety and an axially chiral styrene unit were obtained in high yield with excellent diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee, >20 : 1 dr). The process has the characteristics of mild reaction conditions, simple operation and broad substrate scope. The result of gram-scale reaction indicates that the reaction has good practicability.
