A solution of 5 g indole in 10 mL ethanol was added to a solution of 8.8 g sodium bisulfite in 30 mL water. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hrs. The solid precipitate was filtered, washed with ether, and dried to yield sodium indole-2-sulfonate (7.8 g, 91%) as a white solid. The product was used in the next step without further purification.
