    1. General

    Unless otherwise noted, all materials including dry solvents were obtained from commercial

    suppliers and used as received. Ni(cod)2 and K3PO4 were obtained from Wako Chemicals.

    1,2-Bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethane (dcype) was obtained from Sigma-Aldrich. 1,4-Dioxane was

    freshly distilled by calcium hydride before coupling reaction. 5-Phenyloxazole (1B)[ 1 ],

    5-phenylthiazole (1C)[ 2 ] and 2-phenylthiazole-4-carboxylate[ 3 ] were synthesized according to

    procedures reported in the literature. Unless otherwise noted, all reactions were performed with dry

    solvents under an atmosphere of argon in flame-dried glassware using standard vacuum-line

    techniques. All CH bond arylation reactions were performed in 20-mL glass vessel tubes equipped

    with J. Young O-ring tap and heated in an 8-well reaction block (heater + magnetic stirrer) unless

    otherwise noted. All work-up and purification procedures were carried out with reagent-grade solvents

    in air.

    Analytical thin-layer chromatography (TLC) was performed using E. Merck silica gel 60 F254

    precoated plates (0.25 mm). The developed chromatogram was analyzed by UV lamp (254 nm). Flash

    column chromatography was performed with E. Merck silica gel 60 (230400 mesh). Preparative

    thin-layer chromatography (PTLC) was performed using Wakogel B5-F silica coated plates (0.75 mm)

    prepared in our laboratory. High-resolution mass spectra (HRMS) were obtained from a JMS-T100TD

    instrument (DART). Optical rotations were measured using a JASCO P-1010-GT digital polarimeter

    with CHCl3 as the solvent. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra were recorded on a JEOL

    JNM-ECA-600 (1H 600 MHz, 13C 150 MHz) spectrometer and a JEOL JNM-ECA-400 (1H 400 MHz,13C 100 MHz) spectrometer. Chemical shifts for1H NMR are expressed in parts per million (ppm)

    relative to tetramethylsilane ( 0.00 ppm) or residual peak of benzene ( 7.16 ppm) or DMSO ( 2.50

    ppm). Chemical shifts for13C NMR are expressed in ppm relative to CDCl3 ( 77.0 ppm), C6D6 (

    128.06 ppm) or DMSO-d6 ( 39.52 ppm). Data are reported as follows: chemical shift, multiplicity (s

    = singlet, d = doublet, dd = doublet of doublets, t = triplet, q = quartet, m = multiplet, br = broad

    signal), coupling constant (Hz), and integration.

    Thionyl chloride (9 mL) was added to nicotinic acid (1.23 g, 10 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and the mixture was

    stirred at reflux for 1 h. The solution was concentrated under vacuum. To a solution of the residue in

    THF (10 mL) was added triethylamine (1.7 mL, 12 mmol, 1.2 equiv). After cooling the mixture to

    0 C, phenol (941 mg, 10 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and a piece of 4,4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) was

    added and then the reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature. After stirring the mixture for 1

    h, the resulting mixture was passed through a short silica gel pad with EtOAc. The filtrate was

    concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by recrystallization from hexane to

    6. X-ray Crystal Structure Analysis of 4

    A suitable crystal of 4 was mounted with mineral oil on a glass fiber and transferred to the

    goniometer of a Rigaku Saturn CCD diffractometer. Graphite-monochromated Mo K radiation (=

    0.71070 ) was used. The structures were solved by direct methods with (SIR-97)[14] and refined by

    full-matrix least-squares techniques against F2 (SHELXL-97).[15] The intensities were corrected for

    Lorentz and polarization effects. The non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically. Hydrogen

    atoms were placed using AFIX instructions. Details of the crystal data and a summary of the intensity

    data collection parameters for4 are listed in Table S1.

    The reaction only worked when aryl esters were used (i.e. alkyl esters such as methyl esters, or

    t-butyl esters did not work at all). The effect of the aryl-substituent of carboxylic acids is shown below

    in Table S3. Although these results indicate that phenyl esters are not the best substrates for this

    reaction (e.g., fluorophenyl esters give a higher yield), we used user-friendly phenyl esters in this

    study.

    mixture was passed through a short silica gel pad with EtOAc. The filtrate was concentrated and the

    residue was subjected to preparative thin-layer chromatography (hexane/EtOAc = 10:1) to afford 3Ab

    Phenyl ester 8: To a 100-mL round bottom flask containing methyl ester11 (2.17 g, 7.0 mmol)

    were added THF (20 mL), (20 mL), and LiOHH2O (590.0 mg, 2.0 equiv). After stirring the mixture

    for 1 h at room temperature, THF was removed under the vacuo. Under 0 C, pH of this residue was

    adjusted to 2 by addition of 1 M HCl. The reaction mixture was then extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 30

    mL), and the combined organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and then filtrated. After concentrating

    this mixture, oxazole carboxylic acid 12 was obtained. This product was used without further

    purification.

    To a 100-mL round bottom flask containing 12 were added phenol (0.724 g, 1.1 equiv),

    1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCHCl: 1.48 g, 1.1 equiv),

    N,N-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP: 0.214 g, 0.25 equiv), and CH2Cl2 (60 mL). After stirring the

    mixture for 9 h, this reaction mixture was quenched with saturated NaHCO3 aq. and extracted withCH2Cl2 (3 30 mL). The combined organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, and then filtrated.

    Following evaporation of the solvent under reduced pressure, the residue was purified by flash column

    chromatography (hexane/EtOAc = 3:1 to 2:1) to afford phenyl ester8 as colorless viscous oil (2.18 g,
