Supplemental Materials
I. General
All chemicals were purchased from commercial sources and used without treatment, unless
otherwise indicated. 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra were recorded at 25 °C on a Bruker Avance
II-400 spectrometer. High-resolution mass spectra (HRMS) were obtained using a Bruker
MicroTOF II Focus spectrometer (electrospray ionization, ESI). Thin-layer chromatography
(TLC) was carried out using silica gel GF254 plates. Melting points were uncorrected.
II. Synthesis of sulfones 4
General procedure (4a as example): A 25-mL flask was charged with a magnetic stirring bar
and p-toluenesulfinic acid 3a (312 mg, 2.0 mmol), followed by addition of CH2Cl2 (5.0 mL).
After the mixture had been stirred for 1 min to fully dissolve 3a, 1H-indole 1a (117 mg, 1.0
mmol) and benzaldehyde 2a (0.112 mL, 1.1 mmol) were added, and the resulting solution was
stirred at room temperature for 1 h. After 1a was consumed, as indicated by TLC, the reaction
mixture was quenched with saturated aqueous K2CO3 solution (20.0 mL), and extracted with
CH2Cl2 four times. The solvent of the extract was removed, and the residue was purified by
column chromatography (silica gel, petroleum ether–dichloromethane–ethyl acetate = 8:1:1, v/v)
to afford sulfone 4a as a pink solid (329 mg, 91% yield).

III. Reaction of bisindole Ia with sulfinic acid 3a
A 25-mL flask was charged with a magnetic stirring bar and p-toluenesulfinic acid 3a (312
mg, 2.0 mmol), followed by addition of CH2Cl2 (5.0 mL). After the mixture had been stirred for
1 min to fully dissolve 3a, 3,3'-(phenylmethylene)bisindole Ia (322 mg, 1.0 mmol) was added,
and the resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. After Ia was consumed, as
indicated by TLC, the reaction mixture was quenched with saturated aqueous K2CO3 solution
(20.0 mL), and extracted with CH2Cl2 four times. The solvent of the extract was removed, and
the residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, petroleum ether–
dichloromethane–ethyl acetate = 8:1:1, v/v) to afford sulfone 4a as a pink solid (340 mg, 94%
yield).
