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

  • 81% of Ethyl 4-(piperidin-1-yl)benzoate.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

In a 250 mL round-bottomed flask was ethyl 4-bromobenzoate (816 µl, 5 mmol), piperidine (593 µl, 6.00 mmol), and CESIUM CARBONATE (2444 mg, 7.50 mmol) in dioxane (2.36E+04 µl) to give a white suspension. The solution was degassed with N2 (g) for 15 min and then added BINAP (156 mg, 0.25 mmol) and PALLADIUM(II) ACETATE (56.1 mg, 0.25 mmol). The reaction was heated to 100 °C and stirred under a reflux condenser overnight. The reaction was checked by LC-MS (complete), filtered, rinsed with DCM, concentrated in vacuo and onto silica gel. Purification by Iscos (25 g.) using 100% hexanes -> 40% EtOAc in Hexanes afforded a white solid. 950 mg of a white solid obtained. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO- _d_ 6) d ppm 1.28 (t, _J_ =7.08 Hz, 3 H) 1.58 (s, 6 H) 3.31 - 3.38 (m, 4 H) 4.23 (q, _J_ =7.11 Hz, 2 H) 6

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.
