1,2,4-Butanetriol trinitrate (BTTN), also called butanetriol trinitrate, is an important military propellant. It is a colorless to brown explosive liquid.^[2]

BTTN is used as a propellant in virtually all single-stage missiles used by the United States, including the Hellfire.^[3] It is less volatile, less sensitive to shock, and more thermally stable than nitroglycerine,^[4] for which it is a promising replacement.^[5]

BTTN as a propellant is often used in a mixture with nitroglycerin.^[4] The mixture can be made by co-nitration of butanetriol and glycerol.^[6] BTTN is also used as a plasticizer in some nitrocellulose-based propellants.^[7]

BTTN is manufactured by nitration of 1,2,4-butanetriol.^[8] Biotechnological manufacture of butanetriol is under intensive research.^[9]
