2H-Pyran-2-ones are the main theme of this diploma. At the beginning, I listed their key properties and highlighted characteristics of their versatile use in chemistry. I also described various synthetic routes for the formation of the 2H-pyran-2-one ring. The last part of the introduction is focused on pericyclic reactions, highlighting Diels–Alder reactions and how 2H-pyran-2-ones react in such reactions. As part of the experimental work, I carried out the synthesis of four differently substituted 6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-ones. I synthesized two of them using a "one-pot" approach, where in the first stage the corresponding ketone and DMFDMA (C$_1$-synthone) react, and then in the second stage hippuric acid is added to introduce the 3-benzoylamino group into the structure of the final product. I carried out the synthetic steps for the preparation of the third product in a different order than for the first two: in the first stage hippuric acid reacted with TEOF (different C$_1$-synthone) to oxazolone and only then the corresponding ketone was added. The fourth product was synthesized by deprotection and reprotection of the 3-amine group of 2H-pyran-2-one derivate. The products were recrystallized if necessary and their melting points and $^1$H NMR spectra were recorded for characterization. These products can be used in further pericyclic reactions.
