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.

130 °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

  • 30% of 2,6-dimethyl-N-[(7-methyl-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-1-yl)-(4-morpholin-4-ylphenyl)methyl]benzamide.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

In a CEM microwave vial was N-((4-bromophenyl)(7-methyl-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-1-yl)methyl)-2,6-dimethylbenzamide (100 mg, 0.23 mmol), morpholine (0.082 mL, 0.94 mmol), palladium(II) acetate (5.25 mg, 0.02 mmol), BINAP (14.57 mg, 0.02 mmol), and potassium tert-butoxide (52.5 mg, 0.47 mmol) solid and DMF (2 mL) was added. The vial was capped and placed into the microwave at 300 watts, 130 °C for 4 minutes. After reaction completion, the the mixture was concentrated and crude taken up in CH2Cl2 and washed with water and dried (Na2SO4). The material was purified on a 12 gram Isco silica cartridge and eluted with 0% to 5% MeOH 2M NH3/CH2Cl2 to give a light yellowish solid 2,6-dimethyl-N-((7-methyl-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-1-yl)(4-morpholinophenyl)methyl)benzamide (30.0 mg, 29.6 %).

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.
