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
160 °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

  • 9% of (4-Cyclobutyl-piperazin-1-yl)-(6-pyridin-2-yl-6-aza-spiro[2.5]oct-1-yl)-methanone.

Every recorded run making this product

2 runs of this class made the same product and differed in what else was in the flask. They are listed from the highest yield down, with this page's run marked.

Every value is as the source recorded it. A run with no yield was reported without one, and nothing here is averaged, modelled or filled in.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

Reagents were put in a sealed vial and heated in the microwave oven for 10 minutes at 160°C. According to LC-MS analysis, the conversion is >90%. The crude mixture was transferred to a round-bottomed flask and volatiles were evaporated under vacuum. The residue was purified on preparative HPLC using the long high pH (acetonitrile in water ammonium carbonate buffer, 25 min.) 20 to 40% gradient method on XBridge Prep C18 OBD, 30x150 mm, 5 mm, Waters reverse phase column, giving (4-cyclobutylpiperazin-1-yl)(6-(pyridin-2-yl)-6-azaspiro[2.5]octan-1-yl)methanone (7.20 mg, 9.39 %). However, the compound was not pure enought for submission and there was not enough of it to attempt another purification.

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.
