Trimethylolnitromethane

Nitroisobutylglycerol Trinitrate or Trimethylolnitromethane Trinitrate was first prepd by Hofwimmer. Used as expl gelatinizer for NC (Ref 70, pp 244 245)... 

Further, nitroglycerine can be blended in all proportions with other liquid nitric esters, such as methyl nitrate, the so-called nitroglycol—ethylene glycol dinitrate, diethylene glycol dinitrate, dinitroglycerine, trimethylolnitromethane trinitrate (nitro-isobutylglycerine trinitrate), etc.

At a time when the only practicable methods for the preparation of nitromethane were the interaction of methyl iodide with silver nitrite and the Kolbe reaction from chloracetic acid, the explosive was far too expensive to merit consideration. The present cheap and large scale production of nitromethane by the vapor-phase nitration of methane and of ethane has altered the situation profoundly. Trimethylolnitromethane trinitrate is an explosive which can now be produced from coke, air, and natural gas. Nitromethane too has other interest for the manufacturer of explosives. It may be used as a component of liquid explosives, and it yields on reduction methylamine which is needed for the preparation of tetryl. 

The crude trimethylolnitromethane from the condensation commonly contains a small amount. of mono- and dimethylolnitro methane from reactions involving one and two molecules of formaldehyde respectively. It is recrystalHzed from water to a melting point of 150, and is then nitrated. Stettbacher reports that the pure substance after many recrystallizations melts at 164-165 .,.The nitratiop is carried out either with the same mix acid as is used for the nitration of glycerin nitric acid,...
