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.

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

  • 73% of Tert-butyl 4-(7-benzo[b]furanyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

7-bromobenzofuran (500 mg, 2.54 mmol), tert-Butyl 1-piperazinecarboxylate (473 mg, 2.54 mmol), Tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (116 mg, 0.13 mmol), 2-Dicyclohexylphosphino-2',4',6'-tri-iso-propyl-1,1'-biphenyl (121 mg, 0.25 mmol) and sodium t-butoxide (0.464 mL, 5.33 mmol) were heated in toluene (2 mL) to 100 °C for 2h. The mixture was allowed to cool. Ethylacetate was added and the mixture was filtered through Celite. The filtrate was concentrated and redissolved in ethylacetate. The organic mixture was washed with satd. aqueous Na2CO3 and brine. The organic phase was separated, dried over Na2CO3, 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 and to a second silica gel column eluted

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.
