A modular synthetic approach toward diverse analogues of the far-red fluorophore silicon-rhodamine (SiR), based on a regioselective double nucleophilic addition of aryllanthanum reagents to esters, anhydrides, and lactones, is proposed. The reaction has improved functional group tolerance and represents a unified strategy toward cell-permeant, spontaneously blinking, and photoactivatable SiR fluorescent labels. In tandem with Pd-catalyzed hydroxy- or aminocarbonylation, it serves a streamlined synthetic pathway to a series of validated live-cell-compatible fluorescent dyes.
