Appeal No. 95-0865
Application 08/08/007,950
Applicants' claimed steps (b) and (c) would appear to
involve use of well known organic synthesis techniques for their
intended purpose.
l. Claim 15
Claim 15 is rejected as being unpatentable over Bisacchi,
Slusarchyk, Searcey, Hagberg I, Ichikawa and Zahler. Claim 15
is believed to be unpatentable for the same reasons that Claims
13-14 are unpatentable. Claim 15 requires a "Prot" group which
is benzyl and use of boron trichloride to accomplish
deprotection. Bisacchi describes the use of R protection groups4
which are benzyl and their deprotection using, inter alia, boron
trichloride (col. 8, lines 35-44).
m. Claim 16
Claim 16 is rejected as being unpatentable over Bisacchi,
Slusarchyk, Searcey, Hagberg I, Ichikawa and Zahler.
Claim 16 is believed to be unpatentable for the same
reasons that Claims 13-15 are unpatentable. Claim 16 requires a
"Prot" group which is acetyl and use of sodium methoxide in
methanol to accomplish deprotection. Bisacchi describes the use
of R protection groups which are acetyl and their deprotection4
using, inter alia, sodium methoxide in methanol (col. 8, lines
44-50).
