The reaction of organolithium derivatives with thiuram monosulfides gives a convenient method for the synthesis of both aromatic and aliphatic thioamides in good yields. In our hands, the reaction of organolithium derivatives with tetramethylthiuram disulfide gave only dithiocarbamates and not a mixture of these and thioamides.
