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.

110 °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

  • 65% of Ethyl 4-(2,4-difluoroanilino)-7-ethoxy-6-(4-propan-2-ylpiperazin-1-yl)quinoline-3-carboxylate.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

To a solution of ethyl 6-bromo-4-(2,4-difluorophenylamino)-7-ethoxyquinoline-3-carboxylate (400 mg, 0.89 mmol) and 1-(Isopropyl)piperazine (254 µl, 1.77 mmol) in dioxane was added cesium carbonate (722 mg, 2.22 mmol), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (40.6 mg, 0.04 mmol) and rac-2,2'-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl (55.2 mg, 0.09 mmol). Reaction vessel in oil bath set to 110 °C. 11am After 5 hours, MS shows product (major peak 499), and SM (minor peak 453). o/n, MS shows product peak. Reaction cooled, concentrated onto silica, and purified on ISCO. 40g column, 1:1 EA:Hex, then 100% EA. 289mg yellow solid. NMR (EN00180-62-1) supports product, but some oxidised BINAP impurity (LCMS 655).

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.
