Abstract: The present invention relates to iodopropargyl-ammonium salts of the formula (I) ##STR1## in which R, R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and X.sup..phi. have the meanings given in the description.They are obtained, for example, by reacting tertiary amines with an iodopropargyl halide. In a second reaction step, the halogen anion can be exchanged for other anions, such as phosphate and sulphate. The iodopropargylammonium salts of the formula (I) are distinguished by high activity as pest-combating agents, in particular by a fungicidal as well as bactericidal activity.

Abstract: The pink color content often produced in products such as amine salts, amine oxides, betaines, quaternary ammonium compounds or other compounds derived from long chain alkyl amines is eliminated by treating the products with trace amounts of a bleaching agent. Heating of the treated amine at relatively low temperatures for a short period of time enhances the effectiveness of the bleaching agent. Long chain alkyl amines having a pink color may be similarly treated.
