Described herein is the manufacture of MAGL inhibitor 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropan-2-yl 4-(2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate including salts thereof. 1. A process for the manufacture of 1 ,1 ,1 ,3 ,3 ,3-hexafluoropropan-2-yl 4-(2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate comprising the steps of:a) reacting tert-butyl piperazine-1-carboxylate with hexafluoropropan-2-ol in the presence of an acyl transfer agent to form 1-(tert-butyl) 4-(1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropan-2-yl) piperazine-1,4-dicarboxylate, wherein step a) is carried out in a first solvent;b) reacting 1-(tert-butyl) 4-(1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropan-2-yl) piperazine-1,4-dicarboxylate obtained in step a) with a strong acid to form 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropan-2-yl piperazine-1-carboxylate, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein step b) is optionally carried out in a second solvent;c) reacting 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropan-2-yl piperazine-1-carboxylate, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof obtained in step b) with 2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde in the presence of a reducing agent and an organic base to form a reaction mixture comprising 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropan-2-yl 4-(2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate, wherein the reaction in step c) is carried out in a third solvent.2. The process according to claim 1 , wherein step a) is carried out under pressure of 2 bar to 6 bar.3. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the ingredients in step a) are added in the consecutive order of the acyl transfer agent claim 1 , the first solvent claim 1 , tert-butyl piperazine-1-carboxylate claim 1 , and hexafluoropropan-2-ol as the last ingredient.4. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the strong acid in step b) is HCl; and wherein the step b) is carried out in a second solvent.5. The process according to claim 4 , wherein the second solvent is selected from the group ...
