    Abstract: A process for the manufacture of stable, concentrated solutions of water-soluble tertiary ammonium salts of disazo dyestuffs is described, which comprises diazotizing 2 moles of the same primary aromatic amine or 1 mole each of different primary aromatic amines and reacting the diazo mixture with 1 mole of a compound which is able to couple with diazonium salt in at least 2 positions, in the presence of at least 2 moles of a tertiary amine and optionally other assistants.
