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.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

A 1L flask was charged with 7-bromo-4-(2-fluoro-4-methylphenylamino)cinnoline-3-carbonitrile (3.93 g, 11.00 mmol), Piperazine (3.88 ml, 49.51 mmol), Tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium (0) (0.806 g, 0.88 mmol), 2-Dicyclohexylphosphino-2',4',6'-tri-iso-propyl-1,1'-biphenyl (0.787 g, 1.65 mmol) and Sodium tert-butoxide (3.37 ml, 27.51 mmol). The atmosphere was evacuated and replaced with N2(g) and DMA (157 ml) was added to the mixture. The reaction mixture was stirred at 100 °C for 1h. The reaction mixture was cooled to rt, adsorbed on silica gel and flash chromatography using DCM to DCM/MeOH/NH4OH (10:1:0.1) provided the desired adduct as a light brown 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.
