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
115 °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.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

Ref: EN07957-77 BIS(DIBENZYLIDENEACETONE)PALLADIUM(Pd2((dba)3) (0.101 g, 0.11 mmol) and 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)-1,1'-binaphthalene (BINAP) (0.136 g, 0.22 mmol) was was stirred in toluene (16.5 mL) under N2. Then 2-bromo-3-methylpyridine (1.619 mL, 14.53 mmol), cyclohexanamine (1.662 mL, 14.53 mmol) and sodium 2-methylpropan-2-olate (2.430 g, 25.29 mmol) was added to the above reaction mixture under N2.The reaction mixture was degasssed by reapeated 3 times with N2 and vaccum before the reaction mixture was heated at 115 °C for 1.5h LCMS indicated no SM left. The reaction mixture was cooled to rt, and then diluted with EtOAc and H2O. and neutralized by citric acid to PH ca 5. The aqoeus phase was extracted with EtOAc (4 x). The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4 and co

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.
