In laboratory, Dr. Nur found out that the hydrolysis of nitriles (R—CN) when heated under reflux with dilute sulfuric acid yielded a major compound A. When compound A reacts with element N it showed that two products are produced (salt and gas). Meanwhile, the reaction of compound A with methanol yielded aromatic scent of compound B. She also noticed two products (compounds C and D) were obtained when she react compound B with reagent Lithium Aluminium Hydride (LiAlH4). Dr. Nur was observed compound C can be prepared naturally in the presence of enzymes in yeast through anaerobic conditions. Further investigation showed when compounds C and D can react with acidified potassium permanganate will produce compound (compounds E and F) with similar functional group. Dr. Nur also discovered compound E will produce silver mirror when react with reagent M and vice versa from compound F. Identify the possible expanded structure of compound A, B, C, D, E and F.

Several sulfonylureas, a class of compounds containing RSO2NHCONHR, are useful drugs as orally active replacements for injected insulin in patients with adult-onset diabetes. These drugs decrease blood glucose concentrations by stimulating b cells of the pancreas to release insulin and by increasing the sensitivity of insulin receptors in peripheral tissues to insulin stimulation. Tolbutamide is synthesized by the reaction of the sodium salt of p-toluenesulfonamide and ethyl N-butylcarbamate . Propose a mechanism for this step.
