The mixture is stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. The clear solution is concentrated in vacuo to one third of the original volume and cooled. The solid which separates is filtered off, dried and recrystallised from alcohol-ether to give 3-(2-imidazolin-2-ylthio)-indole hydriodide of the formula ##SPC9##
