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

  • 11% of Tert-butyl 4-(2-methoxyphenyl)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.

Every value is as the source recorded it. A run with no yield was reported without one, and nothing here is averaged, modelled or filled in.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

RuPhos (32.7 mg, 0.07 mmol) and palladium (II) acetate (15.75 mg, 0.07 mmol) were suspended in toluene (1 mL) at ambient temperature. The mixture was degassed and purged with nitrogen several times and warmed to 50°C for 20 mins. In a separate vessel were mixed 1-chloro-2-methoxybenzene (100 mg, 0.70 mmol), tert-butyl piperazine-1-carboxylate (131 mg, 0.70 mmol), sodium tertbutoxide (101 mg, 1.05 mmol) and toluene (2 mL). The suspension was degassed and purged with nitrogen then warmed to 50°C. The solution of catalyst was added to the reaction vessel and the resulting mixture was degassed and purged with nitrogen. The reaction was heated to 110°C (ext T) under nitrogen for 6 hours then allowed to cool to ambient temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was filtered and concentrated

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.
