The iodine-catalyzedoxidativeamination of sodiumsulfinates in the presence of sodium percarbonate as the oxidant has been developed. The reaction shows good substrate scope and tolerates a wide range of functionalities in both amine and sodiumsulfinate substrates. Aliphatic amines, heteroaromatic amines and hydrochloride salts of amines can be employed as the amine sources in this transformation
