Dinitrophenoxyethylnitrate
friction sensitivity:
up to 36 kp = 353 N pistil load no reaction
o-Dinitrocresol is prepared by introducing o-nitrophenyl glyceryl ether
into mixed acid at 25–30 °C = 77–85°F. It is insoluble in water and
readily soluble in acetone; it is a poor gelatinizer of nitrocellulose.

The compound is insoluble in water, but soluble in acetone and
toluene. It is prepared by dissolving phenyl glycol ether in sulfuric acid
and pouring the reaction mixture into mixed acid at 10–20 °C
(50–68°F).
It is a nitrocellulose gelatinizer.
