BTTN and TMETN are representative energetic plasticizers used for various propellants. However these compounds are sensitive relatively. So, in order to develop insensitive energetic plasticizer, this study attempted to synthesize derivative of triazole, 4,5-bis(azidomethyl)-(2-methoxyethyl)-1,2,3- triazole (DAMETR). Also, the prepared compound was characterized by NMR, IR spectroscopy, and physicochemical properties such as glass transition temperature, melting point, decomposition temperature, density, viscosity and impact sensitivity. In addition, the heats of formation (${\Delta}H_f$) and detonation properties (pressure and velocity) of DAMETR were calculated using Gaussian 09 and EXPLO5 programs. Especially, 1-DAMETR(>50 J) was more insensitive than BTTN(1 J) and TMETN(9.2 J).
