Consider each elementary step present in the mechanism of an acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of a nitrile. Draw the organic intermediate after each elementary step. NOTE from Dr. Mahoney: Your mechanism will only cover the hydrolysis of a nitrile to an amide product. It will not cover the conversion of the amide to the final carboxylic acid H30* H2O Step 3 Step 5 Step 4
