Not sure what the mechanism for CH3COO-Na+  +  ClCH3 is?
Any help please I understand a normal alcohol+C.Acid reactions to form esters, But im not sure how this is different. Thanks

Is this board dead?

Give it some time and maybe some people will reply. This isn't the imageboards where you'll get a reply after a minute or so.

Ok man though would be a little faster but no worrys

I don't quite get what you are asking but i should be like this:
sodium acetate dissolves in water to its ions na+ and ch3coo-. Since ch3cl is water insoluble, the negatively charged oxygen of carboxyl group attacks the positively polarized methyl carbon and forms a transition sate. ch3cooc( cl ) ch3. and then free na+ cation binds to cl and nacl leaves. the remainder is ch3cooch3 which is methyl acetate( is an ester).
