An efficient protocol to provide a series of C-5-substituted
2′-deoxyuridine derivatives using a palladium-catalyzed
Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction in water has been
established. Starting from 2′-deoxyuridine derivatives,
the target nucleoside analogues were obtained in good yields with
low levels of palladium loading without protection of any hydroxyl
group of the glycone moiety.
