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
120 °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

  • 83% of 1-[4-(4-Methoxy-3-nitro-phenyl)-piperazin-1-yl]ethanone.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

1-(piperazin-1-yl)ethanone (9.94 g, 77.58 mmol), Cesium carbonate (50.6 g, 155.15 mmol), XANTPHOS (5.39 g, 9.31 mmol) and Pd(OAc)2 (1.393 g, 6.21 mmol) were added to a stirred solution of 4-bromo-1-methoxy-2-nitrobenzene (18 g, 77.58 mmol) dissolved in dioxane (120 ml). The resulting suspension was heated to 120 °C (bath) over a period of 1 hour. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool and the residual cesium carbonate was removed by filtration through a pad of Dicalite speed plus, washing with dichloromethane. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give a dark oil. PBO-02628-53-01 w= 45 g The crude product in solution in DCM was added to a silica gel column and was eluted with methanol 0 to 20% in EtOAc (NOVASEP). Collected fractions to dryness to afford 1-(4-(4-methoxy-3-ni

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.
