[3+2] in the wild : Biomimetic natural product syntheses and theoretical considerations have indicated that 1,3‐dipolar cycloadditions take place in nature. Now, the structure, biosynthesis, and function of a heavily modified prenylated flavin cofactor have been elucidated. In the azomethine ylide form, it undergoes [3+2] cycloadditions with aromatic acids and promotes their decarboxylation.
