The mixture is then stirred for 5 hours at room temperature, after which it is diluted with water. It is then repeatedly extracted with methylene chloride and the organic phases are combined and dried over sodium sulfate. After distilling off the solvent, a crystalline residue (83.1 g=99%) is obtained, and this is recrystallized from ethyl acetate. 45.8 g of 2-carbamyloxymethylnorborn-5-en-2-yl methyl ketone, of melting point 118°-119° C., are obtained.
