The reaction mixture was stirred for 5 h, gradually warming to room temperature. The reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted twice with EtOAc. The combined organics were washed with water and then saturated aqueous NaCl, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash silica gel chromatography using a gradient of 10% to 50% EtOAc with 0.1% triethylamine in heptanes gave tert-butyl 4-((2-fluorophenyl)sulfonyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate as a pale yellow oil (1.31 g, 60%).
