Click chemistry is currently one of the most used tools for the generation of complex organic molecules. The advantages of using click chemistry in organic synthesis are remarkable; in many cases, the reactions occur under mild conditions and are free of solvents, with high yields and short reaction times. This makes it an extraordinarily effective and viable alternative for obtaining complex/conjugated molecules. In this review, the use of click chemistry CuAAC is especially emphasized for polyhydroxylated platforms such as resorcinarenes or calixarenes, focusing mainly on aspects of synthesis, specifically conditions, reagents, and methodologies.
