Rocaglamide is a natural product which belongs to a class of molecules called flavaglines.[1][2] This compound was isolated in 1982 by King and colleagues based on its antileukemic activity.[3] Like other flavaglines, rocaglamide displays potent insecticidal, antifungal, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities.

Rocaglamide was first synthesized by Barry Trost in 1990.[4] Although other syntheses have been described since, Trost’s remains the only one to afford rocaglamide in an enantio-specific manner.
