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
100 °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

  • 85% of 1-(4-Bromophenyl)-3-methylazetidine.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

3-methylazetidine (0.5 g, 4.69 mmol), diacetoxypalladium (10.53 mg, 0.05 mmol), 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl (0.058 g, 0.09 mmol) and cesium carbonate (3.67 g, 11.26 mmol), degassed toluene (15 mL) were heated at 100 °C over the weekend. The RM was filtered and washed with EtOAc the filtrate was then concentrated and the crude product purified by flash silica chromatography, elution gradient 20 to 30% EtOAc in heptane. Purest fractions were collected and combined with EN05604-93. The combined product was then recrystalised from EtOAc to give 1-(4-bromophenyl)-3-methylazetidine (0.899 g, 85 %).

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.
