A search for resonances decaying to top quark-antiquark pairs is performed using a dilepton+jets data sample recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb[superscript -1]. No significant deviations from the standard model background are observed. Upper limits are presented for the production cross section times branching fraction of top quark-antiquark resonances for masses from 750 to 3000 GeV. In particular, the existence of a leptophobic topcolor particle Z[superscript ′] is excluded at the 95% confidence level for resonance masses M[subscript Z]′<1.3 TeV for Γ[subscript Z]′=0.012M[subscript Z]′, and M<1.9 TeV for Γ[subscript Z]′=0.10M[subscript Z]′.
