Anyone know Organic Reactions - SN2, esterification and are able to help me out :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In this reaction, Diphenylmethanol is being reacted with 2-Bromoethanol, with para-Toluenesulfonic acid as the catalyst, and toluene as a solvent. However in the final product, an ester seems to have formed with the Br on the edge. What reactions are taking place here, SN2, SN1 and where? Thanks

OpenStudy (aaronq):

you can't make esters from 2 alcohols :\
