1,2,4-Butanetriol trinitrate (BTTN), also called butanetriol trinitrate, is an important military propellant. It is a colorless to brown explosive liquid.https://www.amazon.com/1-2-4-Butanetriol-Analysis-Synthesis/dp/B00BVD8Q06 1,2,4-Butanetriol: Analysis and Synthesis Pisacane Frank J. 1982 PN
BTTN is used as a propellant in virtually all single-stage missiles used by the United States, including the Hellfire.https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3450853.stm Bacteria help make missile fuel 2004-02-02 2018-11-02 It is less volatile, less sensitive to shock, and more thermally stable than nitroglycerine,https://books.google.com/books?id=_fmGDgAAQBAJ The Chemistry and Technology of Solid Rocket Propellants (A Treatise on Solid Propellants) Varghese T.

BTTN as a propellant is often used in a mixture with nitroglycerin. The mixture can be made by co-nitration of butanetriol and glycerol.Farncomb Robert E.
