Reaction Steps

To 2,3-dimethyl-3-(4-sulfobutyl)-5-sulfo-3H-indole (10 g) was added butane sultone (30 g) and the mixture heated to 140° C. overnight. On cooling to room temperature, sulfolan (20 ml) was added and the mixture poured into diethyl ether (500 ml). The resultant precipitate was removed by filtration and dried to give the desired product (12 g).
