From 8 to 9, The Sodiumborohydride which acts as the reducing agent and reduces the amide to the alcohol
From 9 to 10, It is the kind of the Mitsonobu reaction in which -OH group is replaced by the Iodine Nucleophile by SN2 reaction. Followed by the deprotection of the Ketal group with the help of the acid to get the correspnding carbonyl compound.
From 10 to 3, It is example for the simple Condensation reaction between the Aldehyde and the amine to the imine.
From 3 to 1, The T butyl group preferentially attacks
the iodine group, and leaving the anion on the carbon atom, which
is then attacks the double bond of the imine group and the
formation of the six membered ring.
Create a reaction scematic with charge and electron movements. Note the considerations that tell what reaction...
