Synthesis of aza ‐rocaglates, nitrogen‐containing analogues of the rocaglate natural products, is reported. The route features ESIPT‐mediated (3+2) photocycloaddition of 1‐alkyl‐2‐aryl‐3‐hydroxyquinolinones with the dipolarophile methyl cinnamate. A continuous photoflow reactor was utilized for photocycloadditions. An array of compounds bearing the hexahydrocyclopenta[ b ]indole core structure was synthesized and evaluated in translation inhibition assays.
