Thermolysis of the glycosylidene‐derived O‐benzylated diazirine 1 in the presence of N‐phenylmaleimide (2), acrylonitrile (3), dimethyl fumarate (4), or dimethyl maleate (5) led in good yields to mixtures of the spirocyclopropanes 6/7, 8–11, 12/13, and 12/13/16/17. The diastereoselectivity depends upon the alkene. The cycloaddition of 1 to 5 is not diastereospecific, in keeping with previous results. Deprotection of 12, 13, 16, and 17 yielded the tetrols 14,15, 18, and 19, respectively.
