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
110 °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

  • 32% of Methyl 3-bromo-4-morpholinobenzoate.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

To a solution of methyl 3-bromo-4-iodobenzoate (1.981 g, 5.81 mmol) in DME (10 mL) were morpholine (0.559 mL, 6.39 mmol), rac-2,2'-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl (0.362 g, 0.58 mmol), Palladium acetate (0.130 g, 0.58 mmol) and CESIUM CARBONATE (3.79 g, 11.62 mmol) added. The mixture was heated in the microwave oven for 12h at 110°C. The solids were filtered off through celite, the solvent was evaporated and the crude product was added to a silica gel column, 0-30% EtOAc in heptane yielding methyl 3-bromo-4-morpholinobenzoate (0.566 g, 32.5 %)

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.
