          Appeal No. 95-0865                                                           
          Application 08/08/007,950                                                    

          where:                                                                       
               P is a protecting group, e.g., acyl (page 5, line 20) and               
               X is a leaving group, e.g., chloro, bromo, iodo or an aryl              
          group (e.g., p-toluenesulfonyloxy) or an alkyl group (e.g.,                  
          methanesulfonyloxy) (page 5, lines 20-21).                                   
                    23. The reaction of Slusarchyk Compound 2 with                     
          Slusarchyk Compound 14 is carried out in the presence of a base,             
          such as potassium carbonate, sodium hydride or potassium hydride             
          (page 5, line 43).                                                           
                    24. Significant disclosure found in Slusarchyk, but                
          not found in Bisacchi, is that the leaving group X of Slusarchyk             
          Compound 2 is described as including halo groups (chloro, bromo,             
          iodo) whereas the corresponding X group of Bisacchi Compound 13              
          is not described as including halo groups (col. 3, lines 64                  
          through col. 4, line 31; col. 7, lines 44-48).                               

                   Hagberg I European Patent Application 0 055 239                     
                    25. Hagberg I describes various organic synthesis                  
          techniques.  One technique of interest is Method of Preparation L            
          which begins on the last line of page 15 and continues to line 17            
          on page 16.                                                                  
                    26. Method L is described as involving a reaction of a             
          Compound XII, which is said to have the formula:                             

                                        - 13 -
