Its det. I have read a long time ago on some webpage couldnt find it anymore that it can be made by nitrating a solution of urea dont know how concentrated in isopropanol with azeotropic nitric acid, and that the synthesis is easy to perform.

The chemicals are relativley easy to obtain, and if the synthesis really is easy it would be a nice explosive to try So did anyone here try to make it, or has some information about it? It is very insensitive, despite being a nitrate ester. It is used as rocket fuel on some racing cars, known as "Thermolene". Isopropyl nitrate is still used as the liquid fuel component on some rockets in Azerbaijan, to reduce the quantity of oxidizer required. This type of starter provides a high power output and gives rapid starting characteristics.

It has a turbine that transmits power through a reduction gear to the engine. In this instance, the turbine is rotated by high pressure gases resulting from the combustion of iso-propyl-nitrate. This fuel is sprayed into a combustion chamber, which forms part of the starter, where it is electrically ignited by a high- energy ignition system.
