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.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

Vial 1) Pd2(dba)3 (0.018 g, 0.02 mmol) and BINAP (0.024 g, 0.04 mmol) were mixed in toluene (1mL) under N2 and stirred at rt for 5min. Vial 2) sodium tert-butoxide (0.999 g, 10.08 mmol), tert-butyl (R)-3-aminopiperidine-1-carboxylate (1.249 g, 6.05 mmol) and 2-chloropyridine (0.477 mL, 5.04 mmol) were mixed in toluene (6mL) under N2. Added the catalyst solution from vial 1. The mixture was heated at 110°C in an oil-bath. LCMS (3h): product, no SM left. The reaction was cooled to rt and the solvent was evaporated. Added EtOAc, washed with water. Purified by column chromatography (using SP4 TM HPFC system, KP-Sil (50g) column, A=heptane, B=EtOAc/2M NH3 in MeOH (9/1), 27mL/fr, (0% B 2CV, 0-30% B 10CV, 30% B 2CV)) to yield tert-butyl (R)-3-(pyridin-2-ylamino)piperidine-1-carboxylate (1.3

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.
