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

  • 41% of Methyl 3-anilino-5-bromobenzoate.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

diacetoxypalladium (0.314 g, 1.40 mmol) and 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl (0.871 g, 1.40 mmol) were added to a degassed mixture of methyl 3-bromo-5-iodobenzoate (4.77 g, 13.99 mmol), aniline (2.55 ml, 13.99 mmol) and cesium carbonate (3.87 g, 11.89 mmol) in toluene (137 ml) under nitrogen. The resulting mixture was stirred at 110 °C for 18 hours. The resulting mixture was evaporated to dryness and the residue was diluted with EtOAc (150 mL), and washed with water (100 mL), the organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated to afford crude product. The crude product was purified by flash silica chromatography, elution gradient 0 to 15% EtOAc in heptane. Pure fractions were evaporated to dryness to afford methyl 3-bromo-5-(phenylamino)benzoate (1.735 g, 40.5 %) as

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.
