Abstract

A synthetic method for generating pure carboxyethyl germanium sesquioxide in the absence of toxic impurities. In the method germanium dioxide and metallic germanium are not used as starting materials. The method involves the production of pure crystals of trichlorogermane propionic acid which are converted to carboxyethyl germanium sesquioxide. The product has an LD.sub.50 value of at least 5 g/kg.
