Description and Uses
Isobutyl nitrite is an alkyl nitrite. It is mainly used in “poppers”, consumed as a recreational drug for their psychoactive effects. Poppers are illegal in many countries, and as a result are commonly sold as air fresheners or deodorizers. Other minor uses of isobutyl nitrite include as an intermediate in the synthesis of aliphatic nitrites, nail polish removers, video head cleaners, fuels, and jet propellants.
Isobutyl nitrite was used to study inhalant-induced immunotoxicity. It is used in the preparation of plasmoquin.
