Hey dear,
● Explanation -
Thiols react with alkyl halides to form thioether.
R-S-H + R'-Br --> R-S-R' + HBr
In this reaction, Sulphur loses electrons more easily due to absence of conjugation.
Thiols react with open rapidly than open chain ethers because they are more nucleophilic.
Hope this helps you.
Keep asking..
