CN, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group or heterocylic group, selected from the group consisting of phenyl, 2-, 3- or 4-hydroxyphenyl, 2-, 3- or 4-pyridyl and 1H-tetrazol-5-yl;
R and R′
are independently selected from the group consisting of H, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, alkenyl and aryl; and
n is an integer from 0-15 in the presence of a palladium catalyst of the general formula PdL3 or PdL4, wherein L is a ligand of palladium; and

Abstract
This invention discloses a method for the preparation of 2′-modified nucleosides, using a palladium catalyst and an alkene functionalized with a heteroatom. Included in the invention are the novel pyrimidines and purines that can be prepared according to the method of the invention and oligonucleotides containing said modified pyrimidines and purines.
