Which of the following options correctly describe the reaction between a nitrile and a Grignard or organolithium reagent, followed by aqueous workup? Select all that apply.

A) This reaction proceeds via an amide tautomer intermediate.
B) This reaction results in the formation of a new C-C bond.
C) The product of this reaction is an amine with a longer carbon chain.
D) The product of this reaction is a ketone.

The correct options that describe the reaction between a nitrile and a Grignard or organolithium reagent, followed by aqueous workup are B) and C).

B) This reaction results in the formation of a new C-C bond.

C) The product of this reaction is an amine with a longer carbon chain

A) This reaction does not proceed via an amid tautomer intermediate. The reaction involves the addition of the Grignard or organolithium reagent to the nitrile, followed by hydrolysis, resulting in the formation of an amine.

B) This reaction does result in the formation of a new C-C bond. The nucleophilic carbon of the Grignard or organolithium reagent attacks the electrophilic carbon of the nitrile, leading to the formation of a new carbon-carbon bond.

C) The product of this reaction is an amine with a longer carbon chain. The Grignard or organolithium reagent adds to the nitrile, and after hydrolysis, an amine is formed. The resulting amine will have a carbon chain length that is longer than the original nitrile.

D) The product of this reaction is not a ketone. A ketone is not formed in the reaction between a nitrile and a Grignard or organolithium reagent, followed by aqueous workup. The primary product is an amine.

Therefore, the correct options are B) and C).
