The mixture is cooled and washed with 100 ml of a 5 wt.% sodium hydroxide solution. The organic phase is decanted off and the benzene distilled off. The residue is fractionated in vacuo and there is obtained camphor-2,3-dihydropyrazine (formula I: R1 and R2 = H) with a boiling point of 90°-81°C/2.5 mm Hg. [α]D = +9.4° (ethanol). Yield 72%.
