     X 1  and X 2  each independent is hydroxyl or amino; it is preferred that X 1  is hydroxyl and X 2  is amino, or X 1  is amino and X 2  is hydroxyl; 
     Y is --SO 2  CH 2  ═CH 2  or --SO 2  C 2  H 4  W, W is a leaving group (e.g. halogen, acetyl, phosphate, trisufate, and sulfate; wherein sulfate is preferably) which is eliminable by a base; 
     Z is --CHTCH 2  T or --CT═CH 2 , T is halogen, --OH, --OSO 3  H, or a leaving group which is eliminable by a base; and it is preferred that T is chlorine or bromine. 
     The present invention provides the blue reactive dyestuffs with multiple reactive groups. The dyestuffs of the present invention have the characteristics of high color fastness and high exhaustion rate, when dyeing the cellulose fibers. Additionally, these kinds of dyestuffs are stable in the storage, the bonding stability between dye and fiber is very high, and the color reproducibility effect is getting better after dyeing. Due to the high fastness of colors, the dye residue in the waste water can be reduced. The high use percentage of dye means reduction of cost, and the environmental problems from the waste water can be reduced or even eliminated. Consequently, multiple reactive groups are introduced to the main body of the dye, which may result in the characteristics of high color fastness and high exhaustion rate when dyeing the cellulose fibers. Furthermore, the color reproducibility is getting better, and the high fastness can be obtained. 
     These kinds of dyestuffs are suitable for dyeing and printing of materials containing either cellulose fibers, such as cotton, synthetic cotton, hemp, and synthetic hemp, or synthetic polyamide and polyurethane fibers, such as wool, silk, and nylon. The dyestuffs are also suitable for dyeing and printing of cellulose fibers, polyamide fibers, polyurethane fibers, polyacrylic fibers and other blends. Materials of high degree dye fastness can be obtained.
