We report an efficient synthesis of tetra‐ and hexa‐substituted carbohydrate‐coated compounds, which we have named "star‐like" surfactants, starting from either α‐methylglucose or myo‐inositol as a central core. The synthesis explores a new approach to such multipolar compounds using [3+2] copper (I)‐catalyzed cycloadditions to attach the respective building blocks.
