1-Amino-7-bromonaphthalene is a thiourea that has high binding affinity for anions, such as the anion of acetonitrile. It is used in organic synthesis as a spacer to introduce functionality into a molecule. The spacers are typically heterocycles with electron-donating groups. This compound also has homocoupling capabilities, which means that it can undergo homocoupling reactions with itself and other molecules. 1-Amino-7-bromonaphthalene belongs to the family of compounds called spacers. These compounds are composed of a skeleton and one or more functional groups, which are often attached to the skeleton via spacers. In this case, the spacer is a heterocycle with electron donating groups.
