(IS, 4S)-4-(3, 4-dichlorophenyl)-l, .2, 3, 4- tetrahydro-N-metihyl-1-naphthalenamine, commonly known as Sertraline, is marketed in the form of its hydrochloride salt. Sertraline is used in the treatment of depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and panic disorder.UMMARY OF THE INVENTION. The present invention discloses a novel method for the preparation of racemic sertraline starting from the known tetralone and cis(+) sertraline hydrochloride form II from cis(+) sertraline mandelate.
