Procedure
Copied from the source record, unedited
A suspension of methyl pyrrolidine-3-carboxylate (2.1 g, 16.26 mmol), 1,4-dibromobenzene (3.84 g, 16.26 mmol), TRIS(DIBENZYLIDENEACETONE)DIPALLADIUM(0) (0.372 g, 0.41 mmol), 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl (0.759 g, 1.22 mmol) and Sodium Tert-Butoxide (1.875 g, 19.51 mmol) in anhydrous toluene (60 mL) was stirred at 85 °C under nitrogen for 16 hours. The reaction was cooled to ambient temperature, diluted with Ether (100 mL) and filtered through celite. The filtrate was evaporated in vacuo to yield crude product. The crude product was purified by flash silica chromatography, elution gradient 5 to 20% EtOAc in heptane. Pure fractions were evaporated to dryness to afford methyl 1-(4-bromophenyl)pyrrolidine-3-carboxylate (1.460 g, 31.6 %) as a yellow solid.

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.
