Advisor: Viktor Zhdankin. 1 computer file (PDF); ix, 116 pages, appendices p. 79-116.This work describes two independent research projects. The first one is focused on preparation of a new class of heterocyclic hypervalent iodine (III) compounds, the benziodoxaboroles, and a series of heterocyclic compounds containing trivalent iodine, oxygen, and boron in a five-membered ring were prepared and structurally investigated by X-ray crystallography. Second project is related to the development of new environmentally friendly hypervalent iodine (V) reagent and methods for oxidative iodination of arenes.en-USBenziodoxaboroleHypervalent iodineIodylareneThesis or Dissertation
