          claims in the application, stand withdrawn from consideration               
          by the examiner as being directed toward a nonelected                       
          invention.                                                                  


                                    THE INVENTION                                     
               Appellants claim a method for making one or more                       
          specified halogenated compounds by reacting 1,1,2,3,4,4-                    
          hexachloro-1,3-butadiene and hydrogen fluoride in the gas                   
          phase in the presence of a fluorinating catalyst.  Claim 1 is               
          illustrative and reads as follows:                                          
               1. A method for preparing at least one halogenated                     
          compound selected from the group consisting of 1,1,1,4,4,4,-                
          hexafluoro-2,3-dichlorobutane, 1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-                    
          chloro-2-butene, 1,1,1,2,4,4,4-heptafluoro-2-butene and                     
          1,1,1,2,2,4,4,4-octafluorobutane, which comprises reacting                  
          1,1,2,3,4,4-hexachloro-1,3-butadiene with hydrogen fluoride in              
          a gas phase in the presence of a fluorinating catalyst.
