          Application 08/08/007,950                                                    











          Bisacchi contains an extensive discussion of the manner in which             
          protective groups are removed (col. 8, line 17 through col. 10,              
          line 14).                                                                    
               Step (c) involves treatment of the deprotected compound to              
          convert the Y  group from a chloro ()Cl) to an oxo group to                  
                       1                                                               
          produce the compound [1R-(1",2$,3")]-2-amino-9-[2,3-                         
          bis(hydroxymethyl)-cyclobutyl]-1,9-dihydro-6H-purin-6-one                    
          according to the following reaction scheme:                                  











          Slusarchyk describes the conversion of a chloro-compound to an               
          oxo-compound (page 8, lines 28-48).
