Appeal No. 2000-2179
Application No. 09/235,242
appeal, we select claim 6 from all of the claims on appeal and
determine the propriety of the examiner’s rejection based on this
claim alone consistent with 37 CFR § 1.192(c)(7)(1999). Claim
6 is reproduced below:
6. A process for preparing a (-alkoxyamine by
a) reaction of an ",$-unsaturated nitrile with a
monohydric, dihydric or trihydic alcohol in the
presence of a basic catalyst at from -20 to 200oC
to form a $-alkoxynitrile, and
b) subsequent hydrogenation of the $-alkoxynitrile in the
presence of a hydrogenation catalyst, without prior
removal or neutralization of said basic catalyst,
which consists essentially of using in the first step a
diazabicycloalkene catalyst of the formula I
where from 1 to 4 hydrogen atoms on the diazabicycloalkene
nucleus may be independently replaced by the radicals R1 to
R4, in which case R1, R2, R3 and R4 are each C1-20-alkyl,
C6-20-aryl or C7-20-arylalkyl, and
n and m are each an integer from 1 to 6, and effecting the
hydrogenation in the second step at from 50 to 250oC in the
presence of a hydrogenation catalyst and of the catalyst of
the formula I.
