The invention relates to an agent increasing the rate of hardening of cements, mortars and concretes while maintaining their workability. It also concerns an adjuvant for cements, mortars and concretes, comprising an effective quantity of said agent, and the cements, mortars and concretes comprising an effective quantity of said agent or said adjuvant. This agent corresponds to the formula ##STR1## in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3, which may be identical or different, denote the hydrogen atom or an alkyl, substituted alkyl, alkene, aryl or aralkyl group,
