The invention discloses a preparation method of tetraalkylthiuram monosulfide, which comprises the following steps: preparing a mixed solution from water, monohydric alcohol and carbon disulfide, sequentially dropwise adding secondary amine, hydrogen peroxide, a sodium cyanide aqueous solution and a triphenylphosphine alcohol solution into the mixed solution for reaction, and finally carrying out solid-liquid separation, drying and crushing on reactants to obtain the tetraalkylthiuram monosulfide. According to the method, a mixed solvent is adopted as a reaction medium, dimethylamine, carbon disulfide and hydrogen peroxide are adopted as raw materials, and the tetraalkylthiuram monosulfide is prepared in a mode that two desulfurization reagents are superposed. The reaction is carried out in a uniformly dispersed neutral system, alkaline hydrolysis of tetraalkylthiuram monosulfide is effectively controlled, the product yield is increased from about 85% to more than 98.5%, the purity is greater than or equal to 99.0%, and by-products sodium thiocyanate and triphenylphosphine sulfur can be used as chemical raw materials for resource utilization; and the method can be carried out on conventional equipment, adopts low-temperature reaction, and is high in safety.
