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.

  • 69% of Tert-butyl 4-(5-(benzyloxy)pyridin-2-YL)piperazine-1-carboxylate.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

BIS(DIBENZYLIDENEACETONE)PALLADIUM (0.055 g, 0.10 mmol) was added to tert- butyl piperazine-1-carboxylate (1.952 g, 10.48 mmol), 5-(benzyloxy)-2-chloropyridine (2.093 g, 9.53 mmol), 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl (0.059 g, 0.10 mmol) and sodium 2-methylpropan-2-olate (1.282 g, 13.34 mmol) in toluene (30 mL) at 20ºC under nitrogen. The resulting solution was stirred at 80 °C for 16 hours then cooled to room temperature. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite, filtrate partitioned between ethyl acetate (100 mL) and water (100 mL). The organic phase was dried (Na2SO4), filtered and evaporated to give a brown gum. The crude product was purified by flash silica chromatography, elution gradient 0 to 20% EtOAc in isohexane. Pure fractions were evaporated to dryness to affor

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.
