Organic Chemistry

Reaction of butanenitrile $\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CN}\right)$ with methylmagnesium bromide (CH $_{3}$ MgBr), followed by treatment with aqueous acid, forms compound G. G has a molecular ion in its mass spectrum at $m / z=86$ and a base peak at $m / z=43 .$ G exhibits a strong absorption in its IR spectrum at $1721 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}$ and has the ${ }^{1} \mathrm{H}$ NMR spectrum given below. What is the structure of G? We will learn about the details of this reaction in Chapter $19 .$
