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
100 °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

  • 51% of 4-chloro-N-pyridin-3-ylpyridin-2-amine.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

pyridin-3-amine (95 mg, 1.01 mmol), 2,4-dichloropyridine (0.151 mL, 1.01 mmol), 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-9,9-dimethylxanthene (70.4 mg, 0.12 mmol) and cesium carbonate (660 mg, 2.03 mmol) were stirred in dioxane (5 mL). The mixture was purged with nitrogen for 10 minutes. Palladium(II) acetate (22.76 mg, 0.10 mmol) was added and the mixture heated at 100 °C for 2h. The mixture was cooled, filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified by flash silica chromatography, eluting gradient 5-45% EtOAc in isohexane. Fractions were evaporated to dryness and purified by flash silica chromatography, eluting at 35% EtOAc in isohexane to afford 4-chloro-N-(pyridin-3-yl)pyridin-2-amine (107 mg, 51.5 %) as a cream powder.

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.
