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.
