When CH3MgBr interacts with a molecule that has a C=N bond, what is the resulting mechanism and product?

1. CH3MgBr reacts to yield CH3C=N.
2. CH3MgBr reacts to yield CH3C=NH.
3. CH3MgBr reacts to form CH3C=N.
4. CH3MgBr reacts to form CH3C=NH.

Correct answer: CH3MgBr reacts to yield CH3C=NH.

Solution

CH3MgBr (Grignard reagent) reacts with a compound containing a C=N bond (imine) to form an intermediate, which upon hydrolysis gives a secondary amine. The correct mechanism involves nucleophilic addition of CH3MgBr to the C=N bond, followed by hydrolysis.
