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

  • 32% of 2-[(2,5-Dichloro-4-pyridinyl)amino]-N-methylbenzamide.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

Palladium(II) acetate (0.098 g, 0.44 mmol) was added to 2,5-dichloro-4-iodopyridine (3 g, 10.95 mmol), 2-amino-N-methylbenzamide (1.645 g, 10.95 mmol), Cesium carbonate (7.14 g, 21.91 mmol) and 9,9-Dimethyl-4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)xanthene (0.380 g, 0.66 mmol) in dioxane (150 mL) under nitrogen. The resulting suspension was stirred at 80 °C for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness. The crude residue was triturated with DCM to give a solid which was collected by filtration and dried under vacuum to give 2-(2,5-dichloropyridin-4-ylamino)-N-methylbenzamide (1.58 g, 49 %) as a tan solid, LCMS indicated 87% pure. This was purified by flash silica chromatography, elution gradient 0 to 5% MeOH in DCM. Pure fractions were evaporated to dryness to

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.
