Where on earth does the nucleophile Sodium Methoxide attack?

This is what I put and it's incorrect!

COc1ccc(NO)c(F)c1

That NH-OH is supposed to be NO2, but I can't put NO2 on here.

I would imagine it would attack the electrophillic carbon attached to the iodine.

Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex

NO2 or F can also be replaced under these conditions. Tricky question.
