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??
If you're not part of the solution, then you're part of the precipitate

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!
