54. The same mechanism cannot operate by using calix[4]arene alkynes. Accordingly we observed that a sluggish reaction takes place between an upper rim tetra-ethynyl-calix[4]arene and a C-glycosylmethyl azide (see ref 17e).
55. A referee suggested that more than a single copper atom is involved in the reaction, i.e., dinuclear alkynyl copper(I) complexes, as reported in recent papers, see ref 21 and (a) Ahlquist, M.; Fokin, V. V. Organometallics 2007, 26, 4389-4391.

63. We found that the cycloaddition in IL 4 at 80°C between a C-glucosyl acetylene and a 6-azido-glucoside described in our previous work (ref 13) required 16 h under thermal heating and only 2 h using MW dielectric heating.
