3-(2,2,2-Trimethylhydrazinium)propionate and method for the preparation and use thereof

摘要

The novel compound according to the invention 3-(2,2,2-trimethylhydrazinium)-propionate has the general formula: (CH3)3NNHCH2CH2COO.2H2O. The method for preparing this novel compound comprises passing a solution of 3-(2,2,2-grimethylhydrazinium) alkylpropionate of the formula: X-(CH3)3N+NHCH2CH2COOR wherein X is Cl, Br, I, CH3SO4, R is a loawer alkyl, through a column with a strongly-basic anion exchange resin, followed by isolation of the desired product. The growth stimulator for animals and fowl contains the novel compound, i.e. 3-(2,2,2-trimethylhydrazinium)-propionate as the active principle.
