                  ethenyl groups, remain in claim 58. Furthermore, comparison of                                                                                           
                  claim 53 and original claim 1 shows that the definitions of the                                                                                          

                  substituents Re, R', and R" in claim 53 constitute a very small                                                                                          

                  subset of those recited in original claim 1. For example, in

                  groups indicate the source of overlap with Re in claim 53. The                                                                                           
                  substituent R9 is also much more limited, and the substituent R"
