The invention relates to an improved method for the preparation of artemether which is useful for the treatment of uncomplicated, severe complicated and multi-drug resistant malaria. The previous methods carry some disadvantages being less cost effective and more time consuming as compared to the present invention. Moreover, benzene, a carcinogenic solvent used in the previous methods is not acceptable according to the health standards. Further, all the previous methods require at least two separate steps to convert artemisinin into ethers i.e. reduction of the artemisinin into dihydroartemisinin in the first pot followed by isolation of dihydroartemisinin and then comes the second step of conversion of dihydroartemisinin into different ethers in the second pot. However, the present invention provides an efficient method for conversion of artemisinin into artemether in one pot in just 4 hours as compared to 24-72 hours in previous methods.

The invention related to a novel and efficient method for the faster production of superior quality vermicompost from the distillation wastes of aromatic/medicinal crops which have otherwise no economic value and are also not preferred by animals. No pre decomposition is required and compost developed by this method contains higher concentration of micro as well as macro nutrients. This method is significantly quicker and the process also results in the rapid multiplication of worms, thereby leading to production of vermicompost with higher nutrient status.
