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
115 °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

  • 25% of 3-chloro-N-cyclobutylpyridin-2-amine.

Other recorded runs with the same starting material

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

Pd2(dba)3 (0.014 g, 0.02 mmol), 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)-1,1'-binaphthalene (BINAP) (0.019 g, 0.03 mmol) and toluene (8 mL) was added to a flask. 2-bromo-3-chloropyridine (0.4 g, 2.08 mmol), cyclobutanamine (0.177 g, 2.49 mmol) and sodium 2-methylpropan-2-olate (0.348 g, 3.62 mmol) was added, the mixture bubbled with N2 for 5 min, then the reaction was heated to 115 °C in an oil-bath under nitrogen. LC-MS 1h: 33% product, 21% sm left. The reaction was cooled to rt and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was purified by automated flash chromatography on a 50g column. A gradient from 0% to 50% of EtOAc in heptane over 15CV was used as mobile phase. The product was collected using the wavelength 245 and 311 nm, relevant fractions pooled and evaporated to give 95 mg clear oil. 1H-N

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.
