13C resonances of carbonyl and various alkyl groups in amides are found to shift down-field on the interaction with lithium salts and it is shown that lithium ion binds directly to the carbonyl group in amides. The magnitudes of the 13C chemical shifts of various amides depend not only on the size of alkyl groups in amides but also on the interaction with anion. The change of 13C chemical shift of amide in LiCl is smaller than that in LiClO4 due to the difference of the charge density of the anion.
