Oh well then, that's easy.  Trinitrotoluene replaced guncotton, first developed by an early DuPont chemist Guncotton Smith.  Not much is known about Smith as he came to an untimely end.  Guncotton Smith was a rather clumsy individual; not a good thing to be when working with volatile explosives.  I'll let all of you connect  the dots.
