          Appeal No. 1997-3586                                                        
          Application No. 08/240,811                                                  


               Regarding the significance and practical advantage of                  
          preparing the claimed enantiomers, we find that such has been               
          adequately established by appellants in their Brief.                        
               In conclusion, based on the foregoing, the examiner's                  
          decision rejecting the appealed claims is reversed.                         
                                      REVERSED
