The mixture was cooled to room temperature, filtered through celite, and the filtrate diluted with H2O (500 mL). The cooled mixture was acidified with concentrated HCl (pH=1), and extracted with EtOAc. The organic fraction was washed with saturated NaCl solution, dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated to give of 6-Methylsulfanyl-1H-indole (6.8 g, 90%) after purification by flash column chromatography.
