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
150 °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 4-(4-Fluorophenyl)piperazin-2-one.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

diacetoxypalladium (11.21 mg, 0.05 mmol) and (9,9-dimethyl-9H-xanthene-4,5-diyl)bis(diphenylphosphine) (28.9 mg, 0.05 mmol) were dissolved in toluene (0.5 mL) under nitrogen. Stirred at 50C for 30min. sodium 2-methylpropan-2-olate (96 mg, 1.00 mmol) and piperazin-2-one (50 mg, 0.50 mmol) were added to a second microwave vial and inerted with nitrogen. 1-bromo-4-fluorobenzene (0.055 mL, 0.50 mmol) and toluene (0.500 mL) were added. The catalyst solution wad added to the reaction mixture and the resulting solution was stirred at 100C for 1h in the microwave. No reaction. Then 150C for 1h, still no reaction. The reaction was discarded.

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.
