Synthesis pathway

[Organicchemistry]

Hello,   

Could anybody help me solving this synthesis? Have to predict a pathway for the conversion of benzene to N-(2,4-diethylphenyl)cyclohexanimine including the necessary organic and inorganic compounds. I am thinking about using H₂SO₄ and HNO₃ in the first step.

You will need do show a bit more of an attempt here for people to help you. Have you tried performing any retrosynthetic analysis?

1) H₂SO₄ and HNO₃

2) SnCl₂ and H₃O⁺

3) 2xCl and AlCl₃

4)

What about the ethyl groups? And can I ask what the purpose of the aromatic chlorination is? Do you think you would get dichlorination in that way?

In step 3, I meant) 

2x 

and AlCl₃

[hypervalent_iodine]

Much better. That all seems reasonable to me.
