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

  • 93% of Tert-butyl 4-(2-methylpyridin-3-yl)piperazine-1-carboxylate.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

Palladium acetate (65 mg, 0.29 mmol) and RuPhos (271mg, 0.58mmol) were dissolved in toluene (10 mL), degassed and purged with nitrogen and warmed to 50°C for 15 minutes. In a separate vessel, were mixed 3-bromo-2-methyl pyridine (1.00g, 5.81 mmol), BOC-piperazine (1.08g, 5.81mmol), sodium tertbutoxide and toluene (17 mL). The mixture was degassed, purged with nitrogen and warmed to 50°C. The catalyst was transferred to the reaction vessel and the mixture degassed and purged with nitrogen. The reaction was heated at 100°C overnight under nitrogen. The mixture was filtered through GF/F paper, washing with MeOH. The filtrate was concentrated to provide a dark brown gum. The gum was purified by flash silica chromatography, elution gradient 30 to 80% EtOAc in heptane. Pure fractions were ev

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.
