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.

Yield

  • 67% of 2-[2-Chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-4-ylamino]-N-methylbenzamide.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

2-chloro-4-iodo-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (7 g, 22.77 mmol), 2-amino-N- methylbenzamide (3.42 g, 22.77 mmol), diacetoxypalladium (0.409 g, 1.82 mmol), (9,9-dimethyl-9H-xanthene-4,5-diyl)bis(diphenylphosphine) (2.108 g, 3.64 mmol) and cesium carbonate (8.90 g, 27.32 mmol) were mixed together in dioxane (140 mL). Reaction was degassed with nitrogen and was stirred at 90 °C overnight under nitrogen. Reaction was filtered, washed with CH2Cl2 and filtrate was concentrated to dryness. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with 10 to 50% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether. The solvent was evaporated to dryness to afford 2-(2-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-4-ylamino)-N-methylbenzamide (5.06 g, 67.4 %) as a pale yellow solid.

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.
