    I believe this question has the following five choices to choose from:

    >an SN2 reaction has occurred with inversion of configuration

    >racemization followed by an S N 2 attack

    >an SN1 reaction has taken over resulting in inversion of configuration

    >an SN1 reaction has occurred due to carbocation formation

    >an SN1 reaction followed by an S N 2 "backside" attack

    The correct answer is:

    an SN1 reaction has occurred due to carbocation formation
