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.

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

  • 16% of 1,2-Diphenylpiperidine.

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

Caesium carbonate (556 mg, 1.71 mmol) was added to bromobenzene (0.060 mL, 0.57 mmol) and 2-phenylpiperidine (110 mg, 0.68 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (2 mL). The reaction was degassed and Tris(dibenzylideneacetone)?dipalladium(0) (13.01 mg, 0.01 mmol) and dicyclohexyl(2',6'-diisopropoxy-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-yl)phosphine (RuPhos) (13.26 mg, 0.03 mmol) were added. The resulting solution was stirred at 100 °C for 16 hours. LCMS showed The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc, and washed with water. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated to afford crude product. The crude product was purified by flash silica chromatography, elution gradient 0 to 15% MeOH in DCM. Pure fractions were evaporated to dryness to afford 1,2-diphenylpiperidine (21.00 mg, 15.56 %) as a yellow oil.

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.
