The equation does not balance as written. That is usual for an experimental record: the source listed what it put in and what it measured, not a stoichiometric equation.

Conditions

Temperature
120 °C

Only the dimensions the source stated are listed. Anything absent here was not recorded, and it is not inferred from what the class usually needs.

Yield

  • 0% of 1-(2-Chloro-4-fluorophenyl)piperidin-4-one.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

To a round bottom flask was added palladium(II) acetate (0.012 g, 0.06 mmol), dicyclohexyl(2',4',6'-triisopropylbiphenyl-2-yl)phosphine (0.026 g, 0.06 mmol), and sodium tert-butoxide (0.213 g, 2.21 mmol). Added 5 mL toluene/t-butanol mix and purged with nitrogen. Added piperidin-4-one (0.15 g, 1.11 mmol), in 3 mL tol/tbuoh (slurry), followed by 1-bromo-2-chloro-4-fluorobenzene (0.255 g, 1.22 mmol), in 2 mL tol/tbuoh. Flushed with additional nitrogen and then heated to 120oC overnight. Let reaction mixture cool to room temperature and filtered through Celite. Rinsed repeatedly with EtOAc and concentrated in vacuo. Purified via ISCO 12g SiO2 column using 0-20% hexanes/ethyl acetate. Fractions 19 and 20 were combined and concentrated to afford a white solid. NMR (I200805922.42) shows a mess

How to read this record

This is one experiment, not a rule. It says that on one occasion these species were combined under these conditions and this came out. It does not say the reaction will give the same result on your substrate, and nothing on the page has been generalised into a claim that it would.

The pathway is a separate question, kept on separate pages. A mechanism here is the canonical arrow pushing for a class, run on real structures and labelled rule-derived. It is not evidence, and this record is not a mechanism.
