Williamson Ether Synthesis:

First the halogen will dissociate from the alkane leaving a carbocation. Then an alcohol (lone pairs of the oxygen) will attack the charged carbon to form an ether with a hydrogen attached to the (positively charged) oxygen. This readily dissociates (for example it can be removed by the halogen ion) to form the ether.

Prepartions of ether from mono haloalkane with dry silver oxide?

To prepare ether from a mono haloalkane using dry silver oxide, the mono haloalkane is first treated with dry silver oxide in an anhydrous solvent under reflux conditions. The silver oxide abstracts the halogen atom, leading to the formation of a carbocation intermediate. The carbocation intermediate then reacts with another mono haloalkane molecule via a nucleophilic substitution reaction to form the ether product.
