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.

Production using the conditions which were shown to work in EN07957-76 2016-03-01 14:20; Pd2(DBA)3 (1.05 g) and BINAP (712 mg mg) was stirred in toluene (75 ml). 14:25; 2-bromo-3-methylpyridine (6.94 g), the amine (9.62 g), and sodium t-butoxide (5.43 g), was added to the mixture. 14:30; Heating at 115 °C. In an attempt to degas the reaction by employing vacuum to the flask good reflux, indicating a slight exotherm, took place. HPLC after 5 minutes indicated complet reaction. The mixture was allowed to cool. 2016-03-02 09:00; Water (50 ml) was followowed by 0.5 M citric acid (~75 ml) to give pH 3. The aqueous phase was extracted with another 25 ml toluene and the combined extracts were washed with water. Removal of the solvent in vacuo followed by evaporation of the solvent gave a re

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.
