grammaticality - Why can't the contraction "you're" be used in this sentence?

How come this sentence works:

'Let me know if you’re available.'



But this one doesn’t:
'Let me know if either of you’re available.'



Because the second one doesn't work, there must be some sort of rule about where contractions are valid. What is it?
