### Chemical Reaction Sequence
The following describes a sequence of two consecutive chemical reactions:
**Initial Compound:**
- **CH₃CH₂C≡N**
**Reagents and Conditions (Step 1):**
1. **CH₃CH₂–MgBr**
**Intermediate Reaction Step:**
- The initial compound reacts with ethylmagnesium bromide (CH₃CH₂–MgBr).
**Reagents and Conditions (Step 2):**
2. **H–OH₂**
**Final Products:**
- The result of the consecutive reactions produces an organic molecule with the following groups:
- **NH** (Type 3)
- **H–O**
Followed by a further transformation into:
- **NH₂** (Type 2)
**Reaction Notes:**
- The reagents listed above are involved in transforming the nitrile compound through Grignard reaction and subsequent hydrolysis.
- The intermediate stages involve the addition of the Grignard reagent, followed by hydrolysis to yield an amine.
This sequence illustrates the transformation from a nitrile group to an amine, highlighting the versatility of Grignard reagents in synthetic organic chemistry.
