Mono-acetin

Di-nitro-acetin and Di-nitro-formin are produced by the nitration of mono-acetin GHj(OH)2.0.CO.CH and monoformin, C3HJ(OH)..O.CO.H. Their properties resemble those of dinitromonochlorhydrin, and they have been used for making imfreozable nitro-glyceriix explosives (see Zeitschr. Sch.-Sprengstoffwesen, 21, 1907).

Acetins. The acetins are the mono-, di-, and triacetates of glycerol that form when glycerol is heated with acetic acid. Physical properties are shown in Table 4 they are all colorless.

Mr W.D. Field groups the solvents of pyroxyline into classes thus Two of the monohydric alcohols compound ethers of the fatty acids with monohydric alcohols, aldehydes simple and mixed ketones of the fatty acid series. These four classes inelude the greater number of the solvents of pyroxyline. Those not included are as follows —Amyl-nitrate and nitrite, methylene-di-methyl ether, ethidene-diethyl ether, amyl-chloracetate, nitro-benzene and di-nitro-benzene, eoumarin, eamphor, glacial acetic acid, and mono-, di-, and tri-acetin. 

Esters, mono-, di- and triesters of inorganic and organic acids. Acetins are the most important esters of glycerol from short-chain carboxylic acids. The most widely used type of acetin is triacetin.
