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

  • 59% of (R)-1-(4-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-3-methylpiperazine.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

1-bromo-4-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (10 g, 41.15 mmol), (R)-2-methylpiperazine (4.33 g, 43.21 mmol), sodium tert-butoxide (7.91 g, 82.31 mmol) and BINAP (1.025 g, 1.65 mmol) in anhydrous toluene (100 mL) was degassed under vacuum with inlet of nitrogen. TRIS(DIBENZYLIDENEACETONE)DIPALLADIUM(0) (0.754 g, 0.82 mmol) was added, the mixture again degassed. The resulting suspension was stirred at 100 °C for 4 hours under nitrogen. LCMS: Product formed. Heated for a further 2 hours. LCMS: Reaction complete. Cooled and evaporated. Residue diluted with diethyl ether (75 mL), filtered through Celite and the filtrates extracted with 2M HCl (2x30 mL). The combined aqueous layers were basified with solid NaOH to pH ~10, extracted with diethyl ether (2x50 mL), the organic extracts washed wi

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.
