The reaction mixture is stirred for 10 hrs at room temperature (30° C.). Water was added in the reaction mixture and filters the cation exchange resin. The reaction product was extracted by dichloromethane. The organic layer was separated, dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and evaporated under vacuum to yield pure arteether (50 mg).
