- perfluoroalkyl benzoic acid derivatives. A plausible mechanism for the perfluoroalkylation of N-(quinolin-8-yl)benzamides is proposed in Figure 34. First, C–H activation of the benzamide substrate with copper produces a cyclometalated complex. Meanwhile, perfluoroalkyl radicals are generated by electron transfer

- and N,N-dimethyl-4-aminopyridine (DMAP) in chloroform solution under reflux conditions afforded the desired product 11a in good yield. As expected, the reactions of benzoic acid (9b) with benzyl alcohol (10a) or 1-pentanol (10b) under the same conditions gave the corresponding esters 11b or 11c in
