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

  • 56% of cis-3,5-Dimethyl-1-[4-(methyloxy)-3-nitrophenyl]piperazine.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

To a solution of 4-bromo-1-methoxy-2-nitrobenzene (150 mg, 0.65 mmol) in dioxane (4 mL) was added (2R,6S)-2,6-dimethylpiperazine (221 mg, 1.94 mmol) followed by cesium carbonate (316 mg, 0.97 mmol), 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl (56.4 mg, 0.09 mmol) and diacetoxypalladium (14.51 mg, 0.06 mmol). The resulting mixture was heated at 100 °C under argon over night (black). LCMS Ok. The solids were filtered through celite and washed with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate was evaporated under reduced pressure and the crude product was purified by flash- chromatograpy eluated with dichloromethane/ Methanol + 0.2% Et3N 100/0 =>90/10 over 20 min. The pure fractions was collected and concentrated to give (3R,5S)-1-(4-methoxy-3-nitrophenyl)-3,5-dimethylpiperazine (96 mg, 56.0 %) as red so

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.
