33. One referee suggested that there is a possibility that both kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) are large but that there is a step after the isotope-sensitive steps that is partly rate-limiting thus masking both KIEs. Although we cannot completely rule out this possibility, it seems unlikely, since we have shown that the rate-limiting step is the dehydrogenation of 4 by 2 to give 5 and 3. The possible masking step after the isotope-sensitive steps, reaction of 3 with quinine 7, was shown to be fast.
