Although extremely useful , only a few 1,3‐dilithiated organoelement compounds are known, because no suitable synthetic methods were available. Now bis(lithiomethyl) sulfide ( 2 ) has been prepared by double metal‐lithium exchange (transmetalation) from 1 and 3 . At room temperature 2 is a colorless metastable powder.
