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.

  • 85% of 2-(2-Chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-4-ylamino)-6-methoxy-N-methylbenzamide.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

2-chloro-4-iodo-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (7 g, 22.77 mmol), 2-amino-6-methoxy-N-methylbenzamide (4.31 g, 23.91 mmol), diacetoxypalladium (0.409 g, 1.82 mmol) (9,9-dimethyl-9H-xanthene-4,5-diyl)bis(diphenylphosphine) (2.108 g, 3.64 mmol) and cesium carbonate (8.90 g, 27.32 mmol) were suspended in dioxane (75 ml). Argon was let to bubble into the dark purple blurred solution and the reaction mixture was heated to at 90 °C for 24h. (yellow suspension when temperature reached 70°C). The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, diluted with DCM (some drop of MeOH) and filtered. Silica gel was added and solents were evaporated to afford the crude, which was purified twice* by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with 10 to 60% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether.

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.
