A study was made of the interaction of thiourea with saturated and unsaturated organosilicon oxiranes in absolute methyl alcohol in a medium of potassium hydroxide, and methods were developed for the synthesis of unsaturated and unsaturated organosilicon silicides with a yield of 65–75%.The studies carried out revealed that the synthesized organosilicon episulfides are very reactive compounds and can react with nucleophilic and electrophilic reagents, while forming the corresponding silicon derivatives. The IR- spectra of the products were studied. It should be noted that, when comparing the IR- spectra of oxiranes and episulfides, it was revealed that the stretching vibrations of the CH₂ group of the episulfide ring are underestimated by 50–70 cm^-1 in comparison with the oxirane ring
