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
65 °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 (3-(Phenylamino)phenyl)methanol.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

A solution of Tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (0.178 g, 0.19 mmol) and (9,9-dimethyl-9H-xanthene-4,5-diyl)bis(diphenylphosphine) (0.282 g, 0.49 mmol) in THF (20 mL) (degassed) was heated to 50 ºC under a nitrogen atmosphere for 30 min. (3-(phenylamino)phenyl)methanol (0.072 g, 11.13 %) (0.4 g, 3.25 mmol) and cesium carbonate (2.117 g, 6.50 mmol) were added followed by bromobenzene (0.409 mL, 3.90 mmol) and the mixture stirred at 65 °C over two days. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature then diluted with DCM and filtered. stirred with SiliCycle SiliMet-SH (1 g) for 3 h at 60 °C. The mixture was filtered through an acrodisc glassfiber filter, 25 mm, 1.0 µm. The filtrate (clear) was concentrated to give crude product (1,00 g). The crude was dissolved in DMSO and the p

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.
