The bi-heteroaryl structural motif is prevalent in polymers, advanced materials, liquid crystals, ligands, molecules of medicinal interest, and natural products.[1] Transition-metalcatalyzed cross-coupling reactions of a heteroaryl halide or surrogate with a heteroaryl metal represents one of the most powerful and reliable methodologies for the preparation of bi-heteroaryl compounds.[2] However, from the viewpoint of synthetic simplicity, atom economy, and sustainable chemistry, direct oxidative coupling between heteroarenes through a double CÀH activation would be the most ideal strategy for connecting two heteroarenes, thus avoiding prefunctionalization of both of substrates prior to the coupling reaction.[3] In recent years, a few groups disclosed their pioneering work directed toward transition-metal-catalyzed oxidative CÀH/CÀH cross-coupling between a directing-group-containing arene and an arene,[4] between two simple arenes,[5] and between a heteroarene and an arene.[6, 7] In sharp contrast, metal-catalyzed direct oxidative CÀC couplings between two heteroarenes have a limited substrate scope. Arguably the remaining challenge in this area is to develop a compatible method for a variety of heteroarenes since such species have often been documented to undergo homocoupling, and have inadequate stability for participating in the coupling process. In addition, the presence of heteroarenes may lead to low reactivity and selectivity in coupling reactions because of the binding of the heteroatom in both the substrate and product to the metal complex. Recently, we reported the first Pd-(OAc) 2-catalyzed copper-salt-activated oxidative CÀH/CÀH cross-coupling of xanthines, azoles, and pyridine N-oxides with thiophenes and furans.[8] Quite recently, Ofial and coworkers described the efficient palladium-catalyzed dehydrogenative cross-couplings of benzothiazole and benzimidazoles with N-, O-, and S-containing azoles.[9](Hetero) arylated indoles and pyrroles represent important structural elements for pharmaceuticals, fragrances, dyes, agrochemicals, materials, and natural products (Scheme 1). Transition-metal-catalyzed direct oxidative CÀH/CÀH coupling methods to form (hetero) arylated indoles and pyrroles pose a great synthetic challenge because the indole and
