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.

100 °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

  • 97% of tert-butyl N-(3-fluoro-4-formylphenyl)carbamate.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

A solution of 4-bromo-2-fluorobenzaldehyde (3.09 g, 15.22 mmol) dissolved in toluene (40 mL) was treated with tert-butyl carbamate (2.140 g, 18.27 mmol), rac-2,2'-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl (0.758 g, 1.22 mmol), Bis(dibenzylideneacetone)palladium (0.350 g, 0.61 mmol) and cesium carbonate (7.04 g, 21.62 mmol) under nitrogen. The mixture was degassed under vacuum several times before heating at 100 °C for 30 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (250 mL), and extracted with ethyl acetate (250 mL X 2). The organic was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to afford crude product. The crude product was purified by flash silica chromatography, elution 10% ethyl acetate in isohexane. Pure fractions were evaporated to dryness to afford tert-butyl 3-fluoro-

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.
