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

  • 10% of 3-Chloro-4-(piperidin-1-yl)benzoic acid.

Other recorded runs with the same starting material

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

4-bromo-3-chlorobenzoic acid (0.353 g, 1.5 mmol), piperidine (0.234 mL, 2.25 mmol), and sodium tert-butoxide (0.216 g, 2.25 mmol) were stirred together under N2 and heated to 80 °C. Pd2(dba)3 (0.014 g, 0.015 mmol), and BINAP (0.031 g, 0.05 mmol) were mixed in toluene (2 mL) and then added to the mixture and stirred at 110 °C overnight. LCMS showed a very small amount of desired product (~2%). The reaction mixture was degassed with N2 for 30 minutes, then addtional Pd/ Binap was added. The reaction was again heated to 110 C. LCMS showed a small amount of desired product (~10%) but mostly still starting material. The desired product was not isolated from this reaction.

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.
