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.

115 °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

  • 82% of tert-butyl (3R)-3-[(3-methylpyridin-2-yl)amino]piperidine-1-carboxylate.

Other recorded runs with the same starting material

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

Test reaction using the conditions which were shown to work in EN07957-76 2016-02-26 14:30; Pd2(DBA)3 (14 mg) and BINAP (19 mg) was stirred in toluene (2.5 ml). 14:35; 2-bromo-3-methylpyridine (344 mg), sodium t-butoxide (334 mg), and the amine (526 mg) was added to the mixture. 14:40; Heating at 115 °C. 15:10; 81% product. 15:40; 81% product, No further progress was observed, probably because of lack of amine 15:50; Another 0.4 ml amine was added to the mixture. 16:15; No further progress by HPLC, reaction terminated. 50 microlitres of the mixture was evaporated and the residue was dissolved in methanol-d4 and 1H NMR was recorded. By 1H NMR the starting pyridine was consumed completely, as opposed to the HPLC-MS which indicated 16% starting material. 2016-02-29 10:35; Purificati

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.
