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

  • 31% of 4-Morpholinophenol.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

4-Bromophenol (865 mg, 5 mmol), Tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (229 mg, 0.25 mmol), 2-Dicyclohexylphosphino-2',4',6'-tri-iso-propyl-1,1'-biphenyl (238 mg, 0.50 mmol), Morpholine (0.437 mL, 5.00 mmol) and sodium tert-butoxide (1009 mg, 10.50 mmol) were stirred in toluene (5 mL) overnight at 100 °C. The mixture was allowed to cool to ambient temperature. Ethylacetate was added and the mixture was washed with aqueous NaHCO3 (satd.) and water. The organic phase was separated, dried over MgSO4, filtered and the solvent removed by rotary evaporation. The crude product was added to a silica gel column and was eluted with 0-2 % MeOH in DCM. The collected fraction were combined and the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation. 1H NMR in CDCl3 is consistent with desired product MS (m+1)

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.
