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
130 °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

  • 60% of 4-chloro-N-(2-methylpyrazol-3-yl)pyridin-2-amine.

Every recorded run making this product

2 runs of this class made the same product and differed in what else was in the flask. They are listed from the highest yield down, with this page's run marked.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

TRIS(DIBENZYLIDENEACETONE)DIPALLADIUM(0) (1.238 g, 1.35 mmol) was added in one portion to 2,4-dichloropyridine (10g, 67.57 mmol), 1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-amine (7.22 g, 74.33 mmol), (9,9-dimethyl-9H-xanthene-4,5-diyl)bis(diphenylphosphine) (2.346 g, 4.05 mmol) and sodium tert-butoxide (9.74 g, 101.36 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (500 mL) warmed to 130ºC over a period of 10 minutes under nitrogen. The resulting mixture was stirred at 130 °C for 24 hours. The reaction mixture was evaporated to dryness and redissolved in DCM (300 mL), and washed with water (125 mL). The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated to afford crude product. The crude product was purified by flash silica chromatography, elution gradient 0 to 4% MeOH in DCM. Pure fractions were evaporated to dryness to aff

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.
