Sertraline base for use in the processes of the present invention may be produced by dissolving sertraline mandelate in ethyl acetate followed by neutralization of the sertraline mandelate with aqueous sodium hydroxide. The organic phase is separated from the aqueous phase and dried using magnesium sulfate. The solvent is removed under reduced pressure to produce sertraline base as an oil. Methods for making sertraline base are set forth in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,536,518 and 5,248,699, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
