Natural 1,3‐Dipolar Cycloadditions

2015 
: [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.
