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
80 °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

  • 69% of 4-(6-Bromo-2-pyridinyl)morpholin-3-one.

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

**_September 10 2015_** morpholin-3-one (1g, 9.89 mmol), 2,6-dibromopyridine (3.51 g, 14.84 mmol), PdOAc2 (0.222 g, 0.99 mmol), (9,9-dimethyl-9H-xanthene-4,5-diyl)bis(diphenylphosphine) (1.145 g, 1.98 mmol) and CS2CO3 (6.12 g, 18.79 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (20 mL) were heated at 80 °C for 12 hours. **_September 11 2015_** LCMS showed no precursor and 37% of the desired mass MH+ 257/259 @ 0.86 min along with lots of unknowns on a 2-min basic run. The reaction was cooled to RT, and filtered off the solid (Cs2CO3). The filter was concentrated, re-dissolved in EtOAc, washed with waster, dried through MgSO4, and evaporated to give an orange gum. **_September 14 2015_** The orange gum was added to a Biotage column and was eluted with 10-100%EtOAc in Heptane. Collected fractions. The column w

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.
