It reacts with Lewis acids and forms salts (acid-base reaction). This reaction is a SN2 substitution reaction where the basesodium ethoxide is attacking the methyliodide such that the leaning group (iodide ion) leaves. Hence ethyl methyl ether can be prepared from both diazomethane and methyl iodide
