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
95 °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.

No other run in the library makes this product. These runs of the same class start from one of the same reactants, which is the nearest company this record has.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

12/01 2009 15:21:58 +0100 To ethyl 7-bromobenzofuran-2-carboxylate (0.900 g, 3.34 mmol) and 1-(2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)piperazine (0.672 g, 3.51 mmol) in dry degassed dioxane (13 mL) were added Cesium carbonate (1.417 g, 4.35 mmol), 2-Dicyclohexylphosphino-2',4',6'-triisopropylbiphenyl (0.159 g, 0.33 mmol) and Tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (0.153 g, 0.17 mmol) under argon and the reaction heated at 95°C o/n. All starting material consumed. Water and DCM were added and the layers separated. The aq phase was extracted with DCM (3x). The combined org phases were washed with water, dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated. The crude was purified by flash chrom. (SiO2; DCM/MeOH 95/5) to give EN02198-25-001: 47.3 mg (fraction 12 from the flash) of the product as a pale yellow solid. Th

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.
