Question

how is ethyl methyl ether prepared from sodium ethoxide​

Answer 1

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