| Abstract: | A palladium‐catalyzed fluorosulfonylvinylation reaction of organic iodides is described. Catalytic Pd(OAc)2 with a stoichiometric amount of silver(I) trifluoroacetate enables the coupling process between either an (hetero)aryl or alkenyl iodide with ethenesulfonyl fluoride (ESF). The method is demonstrated in the successful syntheses of eighty‐eight otherwise difficult to access compounds, in up to 99 % yields, including the unprecedented 2‐heteroarylethenesulfonyl fluorides and 1,3‐dienylsulfonyl fluorides. |
