The efficient and scalable synthesis of 3,3′‐bis‐isoxazole‐5,5′‐bis‐methylene dinitrate and its energetic properties are described. The material has favorable sensitivity properties; energetic properties point toward its potential as both a melt‐castable secondary explosive and as a propellant plasticizer.
