title: Synthesis of 8-Heteroaryl-2'-deoxyguanosine Derivatives.
abstract: We describe the synthesis of 8-heteroaromatic-2'-deoxyguanosine analogues using Suzuki-Miyaura or Stille conditions. Unprotected and protected 8-bromo-2'-deoxyguanosine was coupled with commercially available heteroarylboronic acids or the trialkyltin derivatives of 2-pyridylbromides either with or without microwave irradiation in good yields.
