A highly efficient N,N′-dioxide/Gd(III) complex has been developed for the enantioselective conjugate addition of nitroalkanes to α,β-unsaturated pyrazolamides. Under mild reaction conditions, a series of γ-nitropyrazolamides were obtained in good to excellent yields (up to 99%) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). What’s more, the optically active products could be easily transformed
