An electrochemical oxidative C−H sulfonylation of anilines without a metal catalyst and an external oxidant has been developed. Various sodium sulfinates are compatible, generating the desired products in up to 96% yield. Preliminary mechanism studies suggest that a radical cross‐coupling process is involved in this transformation.
