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
100 °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

  • 48% of 2-(4-Bromophenyl)-1,3-dihydroisoindole.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

palladium(II) acetate (0.112 g, 0.50 mmol) and XANTPHOS (0.288 g, 0.50 mmol) were added to a degassed solution of isoindoline (0.566 ml, 4.98 mmol), 1-bromo-4-iodobenzene (1.41 g, 4.98 mmol) and SODIUM TERT-BUTOXIDE (1.197 g, 12.46 mmol) in toluene (49.3 ml) under nitrogen. The resulting solution was stirred at 100 °C for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to RT and was partitioned between EtOAc and H2O, filtered and the organic layer separated and dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated to dryness to give crude product. The crude product preabsorbed onto SiO2 and was purified by flash silica (40g, grace) chromatography, elution gradient 0 to 10% DCM in heptane. Pure fractions were evaporated to dryness to afford 2-(4-bromophenyl)isoindoline (0.660 g, 48.3 %) as an orange

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.
