Erythritol tetranitrate (ETN) is an explosive compound chemically similar to PETN, [1] though it is thought to be slightly more sensitive to friction and impact.. Like many nitrate esters, ETN acts as a vasodilator, and was the active ingredient in the original "sustained release" tablets, made under a process patent in the early 1950s, called "nitroglyn".

In 1840, the Scottish chemist John Stenhouse found that the same chemical could be produced by distilling a wide variety of crop materials, including corn, oats, bran, and sawdust, with aqueous sulfuric acid; he also determined furfural's empirical formula (C 5 H 4 O 2). [8]
Chloropicrin was discovered in 1848 by Scottish chemist John Stenhouse. He prepared it by the reaction of sodium hypochlorite with picric acid : HOC 6 H 2 (NO 2 ) 3 + 11 NaOCl → 3 Cl 3 CNO 2 + 3 Na 2 CO 3 + 3 NaOH + 2 NaCl
