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
60 °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

  • 57% of tert-butyl 4-(2-methyl-3-oxo-1H-isoindol-5-yl)piperazine-1-carboxylate.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

In an oven-dried RB flask was added Tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (0.046 g, 0.05 mmol) and rac-2,2'-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl (0.062 g, 0.10 mmol). The flask was evacuated and back-filled with nitrogen. Anhydrous toluene (3 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred at rt for 10 min to give a purple solution. 6-bromo-2-methylisoindolin-1-one (2.261 g, 10 mmol), 1-Boc-piperazine (1.863 g, 10.00 mmol) and Sodium tert-butoxide (1.714 mL, 14.00 mmol) were added in one portion followed by anhydrous toluene (15 mL). The flask was evacuated and back-filled with nitrogen and the resulting mixture was stirred at 60 °C under a nitrogen atmosphere for 2 days. LCMS shows 10% conversion. Tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (0.183 g, 0.20 mmol) and 2-Dicyclohexylphosphino-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.
