The stable and structurally well-defined Ar–Cu(III) intermediates, that are prepared almost quantitatively from the reaction of azacalix[1]arene[3]pyridines with Cu(ClO4)2·6H2O under aerobic conditions, reacted smoothly with a number of alkyllithium reagents under mild conditions to form Caryl–Calkyl bonds.
