Nitroglycide is soluble in alcohol, ether, acetone, and water; it is highly<br />

volatile.<br />

This nitrate ester of glycide is prepared from dinitroglycerine by splitting<br />

off one HNO3 molecule with concentrated alkali. It is the anhydride<br />

of glycerin mononitrate.<br />

Nitroglyceride is precursor for W Polyglyn.
