After cooling down to room temperature, the reaction mixture was filtered (dicalite), then the filtrate poured into ice-water and extracted 3 times with EtOAc. The combined organic phases were washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated. The residue was crystallized from n-heptane to give 3.19 g of 2-methyl-1H-indole-5-carbaldehyde as light red solid.
