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.

125 °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

  • 22% of [1-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)piperidin-4-yl]methanol.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

**_Procedure:_** To a flask was added 1,3-Dichloro-4-iodobenzene (5.89 mL, 43.41 mmol), piperidin-4-ylmethanol (5 g, 43.41 mmol), cesium carbonate (28.3 g, 86.83 mmol), 18-Crown-6 (1.377 g, 5.21 mmol), rac-2,2'-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl (0.811 g, 1.30 mmol), and toluene (50 mL). The mixture was stirred under nitrogen and Tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (0.398 g, 0.43 mmol) was added in one portion. The resultant yellow mixture was heated with oil bath temperature set at 125°C for 3 hours. LCMS shows desired product as well as other impurities. The reaction was cooled to room temperature. Ethyl acetate (2 x 200 mL) was added and the resultant mixture was extracted with saturated aqueous sodium chloride (200 mL). The organics were collected and dried over sodium sulfat

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.
