Diethylene glycol dinitrate is a nitrated alcohol ester produced by the action of concentrated nitric acid normally admixed with an excess of strong sulfuric acid as a dehydrating agent upon diethylene glycol.Diethylene glycol dinitrate is a colorless odorless viscous oily liquid with specific gravity 1.4092 at 0 °C and 1.3846 at 20 °C; freezing point −11.5 °C under a standard atmosphere; the theoretical boiling point of approximately 197 °C difficult to confirm as the compound begins to decompose and spontaneously inflames at or slightly below this temperature.
