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
90 °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

  • 43% of 5-bromo-4-methoxy-N-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]pyrimidin-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.

repeat of _EN06995-58\Reaction_ but using Xantphos **_Aim:-_ prepare target for further use.** 1-iodo-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (0.171 ml, 1.19 mmol), 5-bromo-4-methoxypyrimidin-2-amine (0.202 g, 0.99 mmol), PALLADIUM(II) ACETATE (0.011 g, 0.05 mmol), (9,9-dimethyl-9H-xanthene-4,5-diyl)bis(diphenylphosphine) - Xantphos (0.029 g, 0.05 mmol) and cesium carbonate (0.387 g, 1.19 mmol) were mixed in toluene (5ml), purged with nitrogen and stirred in a sealed tube at 90 °C overnight. LCMS: pH = 3, 2 minute run time, shows sign of product at Rt = 1.41 min The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc (20 ml), filtered through a celite pad and concentrated to give 477 mg yellow solid.

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.
