The main theme of this diploma are 2H-pyran-2-ones. At the beginning I summarised their key features and reactions that make these compounds quite interesting in the field of organic synthesis. I have also listed and described some different possibilities to synthesise the 2H-pyran-2-one ring. Lastly, I focused on some examples of biologically active 2H-pyran-2-ones. As the part of practical work, syntheses of three different 3-benzoylamino-2H-pyran-2-ones by two step ‘one-pot’ reaction were carried out. I started by reacting a ketone and N,N-dimethylformamide dimethylacetal with each other and then to carry out the second step of the synthesis I added hippuric acid to the product of the first reaction to introduce the 3-benzoylamino group into the structure of the final product. If needed, the products were recrystallized and then they were analysed by measuring their melting points and recording their NMR, IR and mass spectra. These products will be further used in different pericyclic reactions.
