Explain is this a plausible mechanism


We learned that an acyl chloride and amine can react to form an amide. However, I'm wondering if another amine can then attack the carbonyl carbon of the amide to form another molecule (where the central carbon is attached to a hydroxyl group and two amines)? Is this a plausible mechanism?

For example,
CH3COCl + NH3 --> CH3CONH2

CH3CONH2 + NH3 --> CH3C(OH)(NH2)2
