Biaryl frameworks are pivotal in natural products, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials, with the 2'-amino-2'-hydroxy-1,1'-biaryl motif being especially valuable for catalysis bioactivity. However, synthesizing these non-C2-symmetric biaryls efficiently regioselectively remains challenging due to limitations current methods, such as prefunctionalization structural constraints. Herein, we report a regioselective oxyamination of cyclometalated biaryl lanthanum reagents using nitroarenes. This lanthanum-based approach uniquely utilizes oxophilicity nucleophilicity organolanthanum intermediates, enabling dual incorporation oxygen nitrogen into skeletons. A proposed 8-membered metallacycle intermediate avoids undesired nitrosoarene formation, delivering 2'-amino-2'-hydroxy-1,1'-biaryls high efficiency. one-pot, step-economical transition-metal-free method achieves exceptional regioselectivity broad substrate scope, addressing longstanding challenges functionalization providing significant implications catalysis, drug development, materials science.
