N ‐Acyl nitrenes have been generated from a range of heterocyclic precursors, and their applications in light‐induced ruthenium‐catalyzed sulfur imidations have been studied. Analyzing the reaction scope and determining the structural requirements of the in situ formed electrophilic nitrogen species for effective nitrene transfer allowed a mechanistic scheme to be proposed. The mechanistic conclusions were substantiated by the identification of potential intermediates.
