This question has multiple parts. work all the parts to get the most points. the addition of a grignard reagent to a nitrile gives an imine anion intermediate, which is further hydrolyzed by water to a ketone. for the reaction below: reaction a draw the organic product of this reaction. include all valence lone pairs in your answer. move clear erase undo redo increase scale decrease scale copy paste set label more labels attributes more attributes single bond recessed bond protruding bond double bond other bond more bonds cyclohexane ring benzene ring other ring more rings bracket b draw the imine anion intermediate. include all valence lone pairs in your answer. do not include counter-ions,

e.g., na+, i-, in your answer.

The mechanism of said reaction is shown below.

The Nitrile on reaction with Grignard reagent and followed by hydrolysis yields Imine.
Imine on acid hydrolysis yields Ketone, Ammonia and Water. The overall mechanism is as follow,
