SUMMARY
Because Liechti and Erckel suggest the use of N-methylpyrrolidone as
the solvent in processes of preparing compounds of formula (1) from
reactants of formulas (2) and (3), we affirm the Examiner’s rejection of
claim 1 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a). Claims 2-11 fall with claim 1.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with
this appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a).
