Butane-1,2,4-triol trinitrate

BUTANE-1,2,3-TRIOL TRINITRATE ch2ono2-chono2-chono2 - ch3 

Groll [3] suggested the manufacture of butane-1,2,3-triol trinitrate for use as an explosive. The possibility of using it in practice depends upon the industrial synthesis of the raw material, butane-1,2,3-triol. Reppe [2] has suggested the following method

A number of liquid nitrate esters other than nitrocellulose have been recently used, including diglycol dinitrate, metriol trinitrate, and butane-triol trinitrate, of which diglycol dinitrate has been the most extensively employed. Powders prepared with it or with triglycol dinitrate are lower in calories. This fact is relevant to the service life of the gunbarrels in which these powders are utilized. Such powders are known as cold propellants .

Butane-1,2,4-triol trinitrate, also called nitrobutanetriol , is a good solvent of collodion cotton. It is less volatile than nitroglycerine and a chemically stable compound. Its explosive strength is not much inferior to that of nitroglycerine. Its heat of explosion is 1440 kcal/kg [1],...

The same applies to propanc-1,2-diol dinitrale (II) and butane-1.2 4 triol trinitrate (III). They also examined NMR spectra of nitrate esters — their conclusions arc reported in the paragraph on NMR of nitrate esters (p. 284).
