3 I. General remarks MR spectra were obtained on a Bruker AMX-400, a Bruker AMX-600, or a Varian Inova 400 spectrometer. The 1 H MR (400 MHz or 600 MHz) chemical shifts were measured relative to CDCl 3 or tetramethylsilane (TMS) as the internal reference (CDCl 3 : δ = 7.26 ppm; TMS: δ = 0.00 ppm). The 13 C MR (100 MHz) chemical shifts were given using CDCl 3 or DMS-d 6 as the internal standard (CDCl 3 : δ = ppm; DMS-d 6 : δ = ppm). High-resolution mass spectra (HR-MS) were obtained with a Waters-Q-TF-Premier (ESI), or a JEL JMS-SX/SX 102A mass spectrometer (EI). X-Ray single-crystal diffraction data were collected on a Bruker SMART 1000 CCD areadetector diffractometer. Melting points were determined with XRC-1 and are uncorrected. Unless otherwise noted, all reagents were obtained from commercial suppliers and used without further purification. Caffeine, thiophenes and furans were purchased from Lancaster, Acros, and Asta Tech in China. Pd(Ac) 2 was purchased from Shanxi Kai Da Chemical Engineering (China) C., Ltd. Cu(Ac) 2 H 2 (99% purity), CuCl (97% purity) and CuBr (99% purity) were purchased from Chengdu Ke Long Chemical Engineering Reagent (China) C., Ltd., Shanghai Ke Feng Chemical Reagent (China) C., Ltd., and Shanghai Xin Bao Fine Chemical Engineering Reagent (China) C., Ltd., respectively. -Heterocycle -oxides 1, n-butyl theophylline, benzylic theophylline, benzylic theobromine, 2 indolizine, 3 and 1-methylbenzimidazole 4 were prepared according to the literature procedures. Pyridine and triethylamine (Et 3 ) were dried over CaH 2 and were freshly distilled prior to use. All solvents were purified and dried according to standard methods prior to use. All syntheses and manipulations were carried out under 2 atmosphere. II. Synthesis of 1,3-diethylxanthine Xanthine (1.06 g, 7.0 mmol) and potassium hydroxide (0.82 g, 14.7 mmol) were suspended in a mixture of ethanol (30 ml) and H 2 (20 ml). Ethyl bromide (1.6 g, S3
4 14.7 mmol) was added in batches. The reaction mixture was kept at 50 ºC for 10 h, and the solvent was then removed under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted with 50 ml of CH 2 Cl 2, filtered through a Celite pad, and then washed with ml of CH 2 Cl 2. The combined organic extracts were dried over a 2 S 4, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give a white solid, which could be purified by column chromatography on silica gel (CH 2 Cl 2 /acetone = 6/1, v/v) to afford the desired product (0.2 g, 13%) as a white solid. mp: ºC; 1 H MR (400 MHz, CDCl 3 ): δ = 1.33 (t, J = 7.2 Hz, 3H), 1.51 (t, J = 7.2 Hz, 3H), 4.12 (q, J = 7.2 Hz, 2H), 4.30 (q, J = 7.2 Hz, 2H), 7.60 (s, 1H), 8.99 (br, 1H) ppm; 13 C MR (100 MHz, CDCl 3 ): δ = 13.5, 16.5, 38.0, 42.5, 107.5, 140.9, 150.5, 151.0, ppm; HRMS (ESI): calcd for C 9 H [M+H] , found III. General procedure for the heteroarylation of -heteroarenes (except for -heteroarene -oxides) (i). ptimization of the heteroarylation of caffeine with 2-formylthiophene A flame-dried Schlenk test tube with a magnetic stirring bar was charged with Pd(Ac) 2 (2.8 mg, mmol), oxidant (0.75 mmol, 1.5 equiv), caffeine (97 mg, 0.5 mmol), additive (0.5 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and solvent (0.6 ml) under 2. After the reaction mixture was stirred for 10 min at room temperature, 2-formylthiophene (168.2 mg, 1.5 mmol) was added. The resulting mixture was heated at the indicated temperature for 20 h and then cooled to ambient temperature. The mixture was diluted with 30 ml of CH 2 Cl 2, filtered through a Celite pad, and then washed with ml of CH 2 Cl 2. The combined organic extracts were concentrated and the resulting residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (CH 2 Cl 2 /acetone = 14/1, v/v) to provide the desired product. S4

23 VIII. DFT simulation on the heterocoupling reaction of heteroarenes catalyzed by Pd(Ac) 2 (i) Computational details All calculations were performed within the density functional theory in Gaussian 03 programs. 5 In this section, Becke three-parameter hybrid exchange functional combined with the Lee Yang Parr correlation functional (B3LYP) 6 was used for geometry optimizations and vibrational calculations. The SDD 7 basis set for palladium atom along effective core potential (ECP) and the 6-31G(d, p) 8 basis set for other elements were used. Each optimized structure was analyzed by harmonic vibrational frequencies obtained at the same level and characterized as a minimum (no imaginary frequency) or a transition state (one imaginary frequency). For each transition state, intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) calculations were performed in both directions to connect these corresponding intermediates. To obtain more reliable relative energies, the single-point energies calculated at the B3LYP/ G(2d,2p), SDD level on optimized structures were also performed. If other specified, the single-point energies were used in the following discussion. (ii) Energy profile of the reaction calculated as well as discussion respect with to plausible catalytic cycle of C-H/C-H cross-coupling of thiophene and imidazole The predicted reaction mechanism involves the process of bisheteroarylpalladium intermediate IM4 from the reactants of thiophene, -methylimidazole and Pd(Ac) 2. The DFT calculation indicates that the abstraction of hydrogen from thiophene with the formation of α-thienylpalladium(ii) intermediate IM2 might easily take place with a smaller energy barrier of ca kj/mol (Figure S2). n the other hand, we also tried to find out the hydrogen abstraction from -methylimidazole rather than thiophene in the first reaction step, but all attempt to locate the transition state failed. The subsequent metallation step involving the formation of bisheteroarylpalladium intermediate IM4 might be rate-determining in the entire reaction because the corresponding energy barrier is calculated to be kj/mol (Figure S2).

Energy profile of the reaction calculated at the B3LYP/ G(2d,2p), SDD level. Relative energies in kj/mol are listed in parentheses. Color code: C (gray), (blue), (red), S (yellow), Pd (cyan), and H (white). Besides, we also considered the reaction mechanism related to the formation of dithiophene (Figure S3). Although the calculation indicates that dithiophene could be generated from IM2 and an isolated thiophene via the electophilic transition state Side-TS and the energy barrier of the step was predicted to be 91.8 kj/mol, as compared to IM3, Side-IM3 might be an unstable complex as its relative energy is 11.9 kj/mol higher than IM2 and an isolated thiophene. Therefore, when catalyst, thiophene and -methylimidazole co-exist in the reaction system, IM3 might be the predominant intermediate after the formation of IM2. S24
