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.

Yield

  • 21% of N-(2-methyl-5-nitropyridin-3-yl)-4-(pyridin-3-yl)pyrimidin-2-amine.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

Palladium(II) acetate (65.3 mg, 0.29 mmol) and 9,9-dimethyl-4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)xanthene (336 mg, 0.58 mmol) were mixed together in a reaction vessel and evacuated and purged with nitrogen 3 times. Toluene (35 ml) was added and the resulting mixture was heated to to 50°C for 45 minutes, then cooled to r.t. To this mixture at r.t was added 3-bromo-2-methyl-5-nitropyridine (694 mg, 3.20 mmol), then 4-(pyridin-3-yl)pyrimidin-2-amine (500 mg, 2.91 mmol) and cesium carbonate (1421 mg, 4.36 mmol), and the resulting mixture heated at 90 °C for 16 hours under N2. The reaction mixture was cooled to RT, 150ml EtOAc was added and the mixture was filtered. The filtrate was concentrated, diluted with EtOAc (500 mL), and washed sequentially with water (300 mL) and saturated brine (150 mL). The o

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.
