In contrast to vinylsulfonates and vinylsulfones, vinylsulfonamides are unreactive in Pd‐catalyzed oxidative Heck‐coupling reactions with acetanilides. This limitation has been resolved by using a C−H‐activation protocol based on Ru−Cu−Ag‐catalysis. Overall, the Ru−Cu−Ag‐catalyzed conditions turned out to be more reliable and showed better reproducibility than the Pd‐catalyzed C−H‐activation. The coupling products thus obtained are functionalized styrenyl sulfones and –sulfonamides which can be used as starting materials for the synthesis of sulfonyl pyrroles and sulfonyl pyrrolo[2,3‐c]quinolines.
