          Application 08/08/007,950                                                    


                              The examiner's rejections                                
                    6.   The examiner made the following four rejections in            
          the final rejection (Paper 6).                                               
                    7.   Claims 6-19 and 22 were finally rejected (Paper 6,            
          page 2) as being unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over:                    
                         a.   Bisacchi, U.S. Patent 5,064,961 (1991) or                
                              Slusarchyk, European Patent Application                  
                              0 352 013 (published Jan. 24, 1990)                      
                         b.   in view of Searcey, IMPROVED SYNTHESES OF                
                              N-SUBSTITUTED NITROIMIDAZOLES, Synthetic                 
                              Communications, Vol. 19, pages 1309-15                   
                              (1989).                                                  
                    8.   Claims 6-13 and 25 were finally rejected (Paper 6,            
          page 5) as being unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over                     
          Hagberg I, European Patent Application 0 055 239 (published                  
          June 30, 1982).  In the Examiner's Answer (Paper 9, page 6), the             
          examiner refers to claims 6-13 and 23-24 and does not mention                
          claim 25.  Claims 23-24 were cancelled (Paper 5, page 2).  Hence,            
          we will assume that the examiner intended in the Examiner's                  
          Answer to maintain a rejection claims 6-13 and 25.                           
                    9.   Claims 20-21 were finally rejected (Paper 6,                  
          page 6) as being unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over:                    

                                        - 6 -
