Drawn from the record's atom map: which bonds break and which form between the reactants and products the source listed. It shows a change in connectivity, not a simulated trajectory and not a mechanism.

What was in the flask

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.

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

  • 10% of N-pyridin-3-ylpyridin-3-amine.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

Stock solution: 2.43 M solution of CyPF-tBu/Pd(OAc)2 (1:1) in DME. pyridin-3-amine (3.57 g, 37.98 mmol) was dissolved in DME (10 mL). To the mixture was added 10 mL of stock solution, and sodium tert-butoxide (4.26 g, 44.30 mmol). 5 min later, to the mixtue was added a solution of 3-bromopyridine (3.05 mL, 31.65 mmol) in DME (10 mL). The mixture was heated at 100 °C overnight. LCMS1 showed the result after 1 h heating. LCMS2 showed the result after 18 h heating, which showed the product formation, and the starting material 3-BrPy. LCMS3 showed the result after 40 h heating. LCMS4 was after 60h. To the mixture was added 50 mL DCM and acetic acid (2 mL, 34.94 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 10 min, and then was filtered. The filtrate was concentrated, and the compound was purified by pr

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.
