Nitroethane is certainly a general reagent in the synthesis of all amphetamines, such as amphetamine, MDA, TMA, DOM, DOB, 4-FA and many others described by Alexander Shulgin. But recently, this reagent is limited in circulation to many countries, and therefore brewers are experiencing difficulties in safe and easy purchase, as it was a few years ago. This challenge can create a new direction in the drug business - the synthesis of substances limited by law for further sale in laboratories that are engaged in the final synthesis of drugs. The synthesis of nitroethane in a home laboratory is a fairly safe action on the part of the law. You can devote the necessary time for high-quality synthesis and purification, investing minimal funds in the cost. The price on the black market can reach $ 300 for a kilogram of nitroethane, with increased demand, and the deal itself may be conditionally legal, and not punishable (depending on the laws of your country). But it is worth noting that the police want to control gray suppliers, and in any case, it is necessary to observe all measures of secrecy.
This is apparently due to the war in Ukraine. Nearly all of the world's supply of nitroethane originated from there which had ceased as the borders became locked and industrial entities stopped operations.
This had actually exposed that even well recognized chemical suppliers outsource certain chemicals which they resell branded under their known name. Nitroethane was one of these chemicals which is why unlike back in the days where you could buy a ton of this shit no questions asked from such a chemical supplier even those sources don't have it anymore.
Personally, I find it pretty impressive that industrial production of this compound is so tightly closed yet clandestine chemists synthesize this compound with little to no resources in comparison.

- By nitro
Ukraine does not produce nitroethane and never did. The inability to get it is the result of many years of international war on drugs including the internationally wide nitroethane control and prohibition legislation. There are 17 companies related to the production of Nitroethane from only 5 countries: US, Germany, Spain, China and India.
