Reaction Steps

20 g sertraline base is dissolved in 300 ml acetonitrile at room temperature. To this solution a solution of 9.75 g N-methylpyrrolidin-2-on hydrochloride in 100 ml acetonitrile is added under stirring within 15 minutes. After stirring for 45 minutes, the crystals are filtered off, washed twice with 40 ml acetone and dried at 50° C. under vacuum for three hours to yield 21.28 g (95%) of sertraline hydrochloride form II.
