A process of synthesizing 2,2-Dinitropropanol (CAS NO.918-52-5)  comprising the steps of:
(a) mixing 2-nitropropanol with a stoichiometric excess of a formaldehyde source to form a reaction solution;
(b) adding a protic acid catalyst to the reaction solution, wherein said protic acid catalyst participates in the process as a catalyst or dehydration agent and not as a combinatorial reagent, wherein the reaction solution is maintained at a temperature in the range from about -30° C to 30° C. during said adding step and wherein the reaction solution is agitated during said adding step;
(c) washing the reaction solution with an aqueous hydroxide solution having a hydroxide ion concentration sufficient to neutralize the protic acid catalyst and to solubilize unreacted 2-dinitropropanol.
