When A is reacted with hot aqueous NaOH, a compound B of molecular formula C8H11NO is produced. With this information, write the correct structure of B and propose the reaction mechanism (step by step, with the correct use of arrows) to obtain B.
Amantadine is effective in preventing infections caused by the influenza A virus and in
treating established illnesses. It is thought to block a late stage in the assembly of the
virus. Amantadine is synthesized by treating 1-bromoadamantane with acetonitrile in
sulfuric acid to give N-adamantylacetamide, which is then converted to amantadine.
