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
150 °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

  • 0% of (R)-4-(4-benzyloxyphenyl)-3-methylpiperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester.

Every recorded run making this product

3 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

A mixture of (R)-tert-butyl 3-methylpiperazine-1-carboxylate (0.072 g, 0.36 mmol), 1-(benzyloxy)-4-bromobenzene (0.079 g, 0.3 mmol), (9,9-dimethyl-9H-xanthene-4,5-diyl)bis(diphenylphosphine) (0.035 g, 0.06 mmol), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (0.027 g, 0.03 mmol) and sodium 2-methylpropan-2-olate (0.101 g, 1.05 mmol) in toluene (2 mL) was flushed with nitrogen and sealed into a microwave tube. The reaction was heated to 150 °C for 10 minutes in the microwave reactor and cooled to RT. Only a small amount of the desired product was visible by LCMS. The reaction was not progressed further.

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.
