When an alcohol containing compound and a thiol containing compound are subjected to hydration conditions both reactions

When an alcohol containing compound and a thiol containingcompound are subjected to hydration conditionsboth reactions give a pair of cyclic and aliphatic products.Interestingly, when the thiol compound is reactedwith HCl/H2O a greater yield of the cyclic products are obtained incomparison to when the alcohol compoundis reacted with HCl/H2S. Furthermore, more aliphatic products areobtained from the hydrate reaction upon thealcohol compound than the thiol compound. In the space provided,give a chemical rationale as to why this is.
ALCOHOL COMPOUND OH trans-hept-5-en-2-ol HCI H₂S OH Cyclic Products A (35%) SH D (14%) OH B (26%) E (15%) Aliphatic Products SH THIOL COMPOUND SH trans-hept-5-ene-2-thiol HCI H₂O SH Cyclic Products A (44%) OH D (8%) SH B (32%) E (9%) Aliphatic Products OH
