Diphenylamine is used to extend the shelf-life of explosives containing nitrocellulose or nitroglycerin. Such nitrated materials release nitrogen oxides, which deteriorate the device. The diphenylamine traps NO2, affording the title compound and related species. And the title compound further traps additional nitrogen oxides. One of its major uses is to control the explosion rate of propylene glycol dinitrate.
