Shedding light on translation: A light‐driven, biomimetic [3+2] cycloaddition has been achieved with the synthesis of a series of rocaglate derivatives. Mechanistic data suggest the possibility for donor–acceptor interactions and the involvement of triplet biradicaloids in the photoexcited state. Several new rocaglate derivatives approach the potency of the anticancer agent silvestrol.
