The correct Answer is:
To determine the major product of the reaction given in the question, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Reactants The reactants in the reaction are: - Ethane nitrile (CH₃-C≡N) - Grignard reagent (CH₃MgI) ### Step 2: Understand the Reaction Mechanism Grignard reagents are strong nucleophiles. In this case, the nucleophilic carbon from the Grignard reagent (CH₃-) will attack the electrophilic carbon of the nitrile (C≡N). The nitrile group (C≡N) is more electronegative, making the carbon atom in the nitrile susceptible to nucleophilic attack. ### Step 3: Nucleophilic Addition The nucleophilic attack will lead to the formation of an intermediate. The reaction can be represented as follows: 1. The nucleophilic carbon (from CH₃-) attacks the carbon of the nitrile (C≡N). 2. This results in the formation of a new carbon-carbon bond and the conversion of the triple bond (C≡N) to a double bond (C=N). The intermediate formed will be: - CH₃-C(=N)-CH₃ (which is an imine intermediate). ### Step 4: Hydrolysis of the Intermediate The next step involves hydrolysis of the imine intermediate. When treated with H₃O⁺ (acidic conditions), the imine will be hydrolyzed to form a ketone. The hydrolysis can be represented as follows: 1. The imine (CH₃-C(=N)-CH₃) will react with water (H₂O) in the presence of H₃O⁺. 2. This leads to the formation of acetone (CH₃-C(=O)-CH₃) and the release of ammonia (NH₃). ### Step 5: Identify the Major Product The major product of the reaction after hydrolysis is acetone (CH₃-C(=O)-CH₃). ### Final Answer The major product of the reaction is **acetone (CH₃-C(=O)-CH₃)**. ---
