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
120 °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

  • 54% of 4-(benzyloxy)-N-(2-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethyl)-3-fluoroaniline.

No other run in the library makes this product. These runs of the same class start from one of the same reactants, which is the nearest company this record has.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

PdOAc2 (0.399 g, 1.78 mmol) and dicyclohexyl(2',4',6'-triisopropylbiphenyl-2-yl)phosphine (0.848 g, 1.78 mmol) were added in one portion to a degassed solution of 1-(benzyloxy)-4-bromo-2-fluorobenzene (5.00 g, 17.79 mmol), 2-(tert- butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethanamine (4.16 g, 17.79 mmol) and cesium carbonate (8.69 g, 26.68 mmol) in toluene (100 mL) at 20°C in a microwave vial. The microwave vial was sealed and the reaction was heated to 120 °C for 10 hours in the microwave reactor and cooled to RT. **** _Split into 5 x 20 ml mw vials such as in each was:_ PdOAc2 (0.080 g, 0.36 mmol) and dicyclohexyl(2',4',6'-triisopropylbiphenyl-2-yl)phosphine (0.170 g, 0.36 mmol) were added in one portion to a degassed solution of 1-(benzyloxy)-4-bromo-2-fluorobenzene (1.000 g, 3.56 mmol), 2-(tert- butyl

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.
