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

  • 19% of (5-Morpholinopyridin-2-yl)methanol.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

In a 10 mL Microwave vial was (5-bromopyridin-2-yl)methanol (500 mg, 2.66 mmol), morpholine (0.233 mL, 2.66 mmol),cesium carbonate (2166 mg, 6.65 mmol), Pd2(dba)3 (60.9 mg, 0.07 mmol) and (9,9-dimethyl-9H-xanthene-4,5-diyl)bis(diphenylphosphine) (115 mg, 0.20 mmol) in dioxane (10 mL) () to give a brown suspension. The reaction mixture was heated to 110 °C for 3h. The reaction mixture was passed over Celite and washed with ethylacetate. The Filtrate was concentrate to dryness to get as a syrupy brown liquid. Water 30ml was added and extracted with ethylacetate (20x 2)ml. THe organic layers are collected, dried over Sodium Sulphate and concentrated to get as a liquid. The crude product was added to a silica gel column and was eluted with ethylacetate 0-70% Pure Collected fractions are evap

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.
