1. The first reaction is called Wolff Kishner Reduction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolff-Kishner_reduction

2. I don't see how you are getting the second product. For one, the nitrogen there is tetravalent...
A 1,4 addition will take place maybe...

3. Your first product seems okay, but it is too unstable. It will react with another molecule of alcohol to form an acetal, as long as dry conditions are maintained.

Please use proper English, what you are doing is directly against forum rules.
