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

oxazol-2-amine (85 mg, 1.01 mmol), 2,4-dichloropyridine (0.151 mL, 1.01 mmol), 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-9,9-dimethylxanthene (70.4 mg, 0.12 mmol) and cesium carbonate (660 mg, 2.03 mmol) were stirred in DMA (5 mL). The mixture was purged with nitrogen for 10 minutes. Palladium(II) acetate (22.76 mg, 0.10 mmol) was added and the mixture heated at 100 °C for 70h. The mixture was cooled, filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified by preparative HPLC (Waters XBridge Prep C18 OBD column, 5µ silica, 19 mm diameter, 100 mm length), using decreasingly polar mixtures of water (containing 1% NH3) and MeCN as eluents. Fractions containing the desired compound were evaporated to dryness to afford N-(4-chloropyridin-2-yl)oxazol-2-amine (3.90 mg, 1.967 %).

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.
