Solution:

$CH_{3}\underset{H}{\underset{\left|\right.}{C}}=O+HCN \rightarrow CH_{3}\underset{C N}{\underset{\left|\right. \, }{C H}}-OH\overset{H_{3} O^{+}}{ \rightarrow }CH_{3}-\underset{C O N H_{2} \, }{\underset{\left|\right. \, }{C H - O H}}\overset{H_{3} O^{+}}{ \rightarrow }CH_{3}-\underset{C O O H \, }{\underset{\left|\right. \, }{C H - O H}}+NH_{4}^{+}$
