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

  • 64% of Methyl 4-((3-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)pyridin-2-yl)methoxy)benzoate.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

A mixture of methyl 4-((3-bromopyridin-2-yl)methoxy)benzoate (360 mg, 1.12 mmol), Pd2dba3 (205 mg, 0.22 mmol), BINAP (278 mg, 0.45 mmol), cesium carbonate (728 mg, 2.23 mmol) and 1-methylpiperazine (168 mg, 1.68 mmol) in DMA (10 mL) was stirred at 100 °C for overnight. Sat. NaHCO3 aq was added to the mixture, extracted with ethyl acetate three times, the combined organics were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, the filtrate was conc. in vacuo, the residue was purified with ISCO (50% ethyl acetate in hexant to 100% ethyl acetate to 40% mthanol in ethyl acetate) to yield a brown oil as methyl 4-((3-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)pyridin-2-yl)methoxy)benzoate (245 mg, 64.2 %).

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.
