Handling, Storage, and Precautions:
a bench‐stable solid that does not require special storage precautions. In solution, slow oxidation by oxygen may occur depending on the solvent, though it exhibits good stability in EtOH under aerobic conditions.

Under acidic or basic conditions, indoline‐2‐thione is more sensitive to oxidation, so an inert atmosphere is preferable. Decomposition to indole under UV irradiation has also been reported.
