Apologies for the double message. I just realized the SMARTS has bad
mappings and therefore would fail when there are any substituents on the
benzene ring.
Here's a working SMARTS:
reaction_smarts =
"[c:0]1[c:1][c:2][c:3]([NX3H2:4])[c:5]([NX3H2:6])[c:7]1>>[c:0]1[c:1][c:2][c:3][c:5]2[*:4]-[n]=[*:6][c:7]12"
