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.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

A mixture of 3,5-dibromopyridine (1.468 mL, 6.17 mmol), 2-methoxy-N- methylethanamine (0.602 mL, 5.61 mmol), TRIS(DIBENZYLIDENEACETONE)DIPALLADIUM (0.103 g, 0.11 mmol), sodium 2-methylpropan-2-olate (0.809 g, 8.41 mmol) and 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl (0.175 g, 0.28 mmol) in degassed toluene (15 mL) was stirred for 16 hours at 90 °C in a sealed vessel under inert atmosphere. LC MS of the crude mixture: FLA 04227-53-01. Extraction with sat. aq. Na2CO3 solution and AE, then back extraction 2x NaCl sat using DCM. The organics were dried over MgSO4 and evaporated _in vacuo_. The residue was purified by chromatography (11 cm SiO2, diameter: 3.5 cm) eluent: AE/hex 25/75to 40/60 to provide 5-bromo-N-(2-methoxyethyl)-N-methylpyridin-3-amine (0.930 g, 67.6 %) as a yellow oil. 1H NM

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.
