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.
