A general and efficient palladium-catalyzed intermolecular direct C-H homocoupling of furans and thiophenes has been developed. The reaction is characterized by using molecular oxygen as the sole oxidant and complete C5-position regioselectivity. Both C2- and C3-substituted furans or thiophenes are appropriate substrates. The approach provides a straightforward, facile, and economical route to bifurans and bithiophenes under mild reaction conditions.
