The completely C3-selective arylation of thiophenes and benzo[b]thiophenes was achieved by using Pd/C as a heterogeneous catalyst without ligands or additives under mild reaction conditions. The practicability of this transformation is demonstrated by notable functional group tolerance and the insensitivity of the reaction to H2O and air. This method is also applicable to nitrogen- and oxygen-containing heterocycles, yielding the corresponding C2-arylated products. Three-phase tests along with Hg-poisoning and hot-filtration tests suggest that the catalytically active species is heterogeneous in nature. I+ can do better! Pd/C can be used without ligands or additives to catalyze the completely C3-selective arylation of diversely substituted thiophenes and benzo[b]thiophenes under mild reaction conditions. The physical nature of the catalytic species was investigated and the mechanism was studied. Relative rate data generated in a "robustness screen" were used to design a complex substrate that undergoes highly chemoselective sequential functionalization. Copyright
