i would suggest you research the mechanisms for each stage.

I think JM means that you should identify the nature of the process at each stage and look at the mechanisms ...

I'm not a named reaction encyclopedia. I'd have to do the same research you need to do to find the name of these reactions. Also try finding the original paper reporting the synthesis. Examiners aren't creative and tend to just nab syntheses they've read in the literature.
You should have access to programmes such as reaxys through your uni.

Look, i've got a bit of free time to have a stab at the mech but you can defo do the 3rd step... that's some pretty simple 1st year organic and the last step is trivial.
