32. Product 18 is likely formed by an alkyl shift prior to rearomatization. For a proposed mechanism, see the Supporting Information.
33. Common minor byproducts in the catalytic alkylations include dehydrohalogenation and alkyl halide reduction products. As an example, in this particular reaction tetrahydroisoquinoline 47 is produced in 72% yield along with 10% of a dehydrohalogenation and 5% of an alkyl halide reduction byproduct (as calculated by 1H NMR spectroscopy of the crude reaction mixture using an internal standard).
