A novel thio-Ritter-type reaction of alkyl bromides, nitriles, and hydrogen sulfide has been explored, providing a straightforward approach toward functionally important thioamides. This transformation features a broad substrate scope, operational simplicity, use of available feedstock chemicals, and late-stage functionalizations of bioactive molecules. The reaction mechanism is also proposed.
