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

  • 52% of N-(4-chloro-2-pyridinyl)pyrimidin-2-amine.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

Palladium(II) acetate (0.061 g, 0.27 mmol) was added to 2,4-dichloropyridine (0.500 g, 3.38 mmol), 2-Aminopyrimidine (0.321 g, 3.38 mmol), 9,9-Dimethyl-4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)xanthene (0.235 g, 0.41 mmol) and Cesium carbonate (2.202 g, 6.76 mmol) in dioxane (15 mL) at 20ºC under nitrogen. The resulting suspension was stirred at 100 °C for 90 minutes. Complete reaction by LCMS, cooled to room temperature. The reaction mixture was then filtered, washed with DCM and filtrate concentrated _in vacuo_ to give a yellow gum. This was then dissolved in DCM (200 mL), washed with water (200 mL) and brine (200 mL). The organic layer was passed through phase separating cartridge and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by flash silica chromatography, elution gradient 0

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.
