Mechanism of base-catalyzed hydrolysis of amides.

What is the mechanism of the base-catalyzed hydrolysis of amides? It probably starts with OH- attacking the carbonyl carbon. But I have no idea what happens next.  :P

Hint, it is a dianion. Then the weakest base is eliminated.

Sorry for the late reply. I found this file on the net. Search with "Reaction with Basic H2O - Amides" in the file.

 Is this what you're talking about?
