Reaction Steps

(RS)-2-Hydroxymethylindoline (29.8 g) is dissolved in a mixture of 34 N sulphuric acid (11.5 cc) and water (60 cc). The mixture is heated whilst distilling the water under reduced pressure (10 mm Hg), the heating bath being raised gradually to 160° C., which temperature is maintained for 2 hours. (RS)-2-Hydroxysulphonyloxymethylindoline (45.8 g) is thus obtained in the form of white crystals.
