To a solution of 6-bromo-1H-indole (5 g, 25.50 mmol) in anhydrous THF (60 mL) at 0° C. was added KH (6.80 g, 51.00 mmol, 30% wt in mineral oil). After stirring for 30 min, the mixture was cooled to −78° C. and t-BuLi (39.23 mL, 51.0 mmol, 1.3 M) was added under nitrogen. After 30 min, 1,2-dimethyldisulfane (4.80 g, 51.0 mmol) was added to the mixture. The reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 1 h and quenched with sat. aq NH4Cl (30 mL) at −78° C. slowly (Caution: flame), adjusted pH=7 with 1 N aqueous phosphoric acid and extracted with EtOAc (50 mL×3). The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated and purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluted with (petroleum ether/EtOAc 10:1) to give 6-(methylthio)-1H-indole (3.9 g, 93.67% yield) as a grey solid. LC-MS MS (ESI) m/z 164.1 [M+H]+. 1H NMR (CDCl3 400 MHz): δ 8.14 (brs, 1H), 7.56 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.37 (s, 1H), 7.18-7.11 (m, 1H), 6.56-6.51 (m, 1H), 2.52 (s, 3H).
