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
160 °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

  • 53% of 6-chloro-N-phenylpyridin-2-amine.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

2,6-dichloropyridine (228 mg, 1.54 mmol) was dissolved in toluene (7.5 ml) and diacetoxypalladium (6 mg, 0.03 mmol), 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthalene (19 mg, 0.03 mmol), aniline (0.170 ml, 1.87 mmol) and potassium carbonate (583 mg, 4.22 mmol) were added added. The reaction mixture was sparged with notrogen for 3-4 minutes before being sealed into a microwave tube and heated to 160 °C over ~3 minutes, before holding at that temperature for 30 minutes. After cooling to ambient temperature the reaction mixture was diluted to ~40 mL with ethyl acetate and insoluble material removed by filtration. The filtrate was evaporated and purification attempted by flash silica chromatography, elution gradient 0 to 50% EtOAc in heptane. Product containing fractions were evaporated to drynes

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.
