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.

95 °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 tert-Butyl 4-(2-(ethoxycarbonyl)benzofuran-4-yl)piperazine-1-carboxylate.

Every recorded run making this product

2 runs of this class made the same product and differed in what else was in the flask. They are listed from the highest yield down, with this page's run marked.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

tert-butyl piperazine-1-carboxylate (5.22 g, 28.04 mmol), ethyl 4-chlorobenzofuran-2-carboxylate (6.3 g, 28.04 mmol), 2-Dicyclohexylphosphino-2',4',6'-tri-iso-propyl-1,1'-biphenyl (1.337 g, 2.80 mmol), Tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (1.284 g, 1.40 mmol) and CESIUM CARBONATE (11.88 g, 36.46 mmol) were heated under argon to 95 °C 14:51:42 overnight, LC showed no s.m. EN03969-25-001. The mixture was allowed to cool to rt, diluted with EtOAc (35 mL) and filtered through a pad of Celite, washed with EtOAc (total of 100 mL). The filterate was collected and the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation. The crude product was treated with diisopropylether under stirring at rt for 4 days, the mixture was filterered and washed with diisopropylether. The diisopropyletherphase was concentrat

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.
