What is the cost of Amyl Nitrite?

Amyl Nitrate is a controlled substance and is only available with a prescription. ***************** The original answer I think means Amyl Nitrite, not Nitrate. The latter being used for diesel additives among other things. In most countries amyl nitrite is controlled to some degree but legislation varies. In any event the question was not asking about legality. Cost will depend on purity, quantity and legality of manufacture. The actual synthesis being fairly straight forward. Amyl Alcohol in small quantities (a few litres) can be around £10 / £15 per litre - and a fraction of that for large volume use. A small amount of sulphuric acid (cheap) is used along with a nitrite - typically sodium nitrite. The synthesis can be dangerous and lead to a runaway reaction (so do not try at home) and can generate large volumes of extremely toxic nitrogen dioxide gas. Taking all of the above into account small scale production would typically add quite a lot fo the danger aspect as well - so cost price might well be around the £50 - £100 per litre to represent the cost of materials and need to use fume hoods, coolers, stirrers and slow addition of the different chemicals. Made on an industrial scale, the price would be around the £2 to £10 per litre for quantities around the 205 litre - 1000 litre depending on quantity / purity required - as this dictates the quality of the chemicals used. Butyl nitrite and isopropyl nitrite are typically cheaper as the alcohols involved are produced in much higher volumes and are very much cheaper, depending on the application of the finished product, they may or may not be an acceptable alternative.
