Hello I have a question that I am facing difficulty with. For starters, I am not even sure what type of reaction this is.

Question: Show full mechanism (with all contributing resonance structures for the reaction intermediate) of the reaction of 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene with excess of glycine ethyl ester.

If someone can draw out the reaction, or presumably start it, I can follow through. I know how to react benzonitrile with benzyloxide but I have no idea how to do it with an ester.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Are you a biochemist??

Show us that you tried.  If every chemist said "I can't do it", we, as an organic chemical community would have about 6 known reactions.  Try google……I found something on it with the first input!

The whole mechanism is even on Wikipedia!
