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.

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

  • 56% of Methyl 8-[1-(3-methoxyphenyl)pyrrolidin-2-yl]-2-morpholin-4-yl-4-oxochromene-6-carboxylate.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

diacetoxypalladium (3.13 mg, 0.01 mmol) was added to a stirred mixture of methyl 2-morpholino-4-oxo-8-(pyrrolidin-2-yl)-4H-chromene-6-carboxylate (125 mg, 0.35 mmol), 1-bromo-3-methoxybenzene (0.049 ml, 0.38 mmol), (9,9-dimethyl-9H-xanthene-4,5-diyl)bis(diphenylphosphine) (17.15 mg, 0.03 mmol) and cesium carbonate (170 mg, 0.52 mmol) dissolved in 1,4-dioxane (2 ml). The resulting suspension was degased with argon and then stirred at 100 °C for 11 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature. The reaction mixture was quenched with water and extracted with dichloromethane (2 x 10 ml). The combined organic phases were dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to afford the crude product as a orange/yellow oil. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography

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.
