The total synthesis of a novel type of benzisochromanquinone antibiotics 2 containing nitrogen in the aromatic ring A is described. Three different isochromanquinone building blocks ( 6, 10 , and 14 ) were subjected to cycloaddition reactions with five diverse 1‐aza‐1,3‐butadienes 15–17, 19 yielding three groups of structurally modified 6‐ and 9‐aza compounds: azaeleutherins 21–24 , azaepinanaomycins 26–31 , and 1‐methylazakalafungins 32–39 . The regioselectivity of the reaction depends on the substituents at the diene and the structural symmetry of the quinone. The strategy provides a convenient access to a broad palette of structural variants. Particularly some azakalafungins show remarkable antibacterial and antitumor activities.
