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.

Conditions

Temperature
100 °C

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

  • 7% of 6-[[4-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methylamino]pyridine-3-carboxamide.

No other run in the library makes this product. These runs of the same class start from one of the same reactants, which is the nearest company this record has.

Procedure

Copied from the source record, unedited

To a stirred solution of 6-chloronicotinamide (0.053 g, 0.34 mmol), 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl (0.021 g, 0.03 mmol), sodium 2-methylpropan-2-olate (0.065 g, 0.68 mmol) and diacetoxypalladium (7.60 mg, 0.03 mmol) in DME (1 mL) was added (4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)methanamine (0.097 mL, 0.68 mmol). The reaction was run in microwave at 100 °C for 4h. The compound was purified by preparative HPLC on a Kromasil C8 column (10 µm 250x20 ID mm) using a gradient of 51-55% acetonitrile in H2O/ACN/FA 95/5/0.2 buffer, over 25 minutes with a flow of 19 mL/min. The compounds were detected by UV at 270nm. 6-(4-(trifluoromethyl)benzylamino)nicotinamide (7.40 mg, 7.40 %) was obtained.

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.
