wherein,
R1 is H or a C1-C6 alkyl group;
X is H, a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C20 alkyl group, a C1-C20 alkenyl group, a C1-C20 alkynyl group, a C1-C20 alkoxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted C6-C20 aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C2-C20 heteroaryl group or a substituted or unsubstituted C7-C20 arylalkyl group;
Y is —OA, —COOA, —SO2A, —SO2NH2, —SO2NHCOT1, —T2SO3A, —SO3A, —PO3NH2, —PO3A2, —NH2 or —N(T1)2, wherein A is a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal, or N(Q1)(Q2)(Q3)(Q4) in which Q1, Q2, Q3 or Q4 each independently represents a hydrogen atom, a C1-C20 alkyl group or a C6-C20 aryl group; T1 is a C1-C20 alkyl group, a C6-C20 aryl group or a C2-C20 heteroaryl group; T2 is a C1-C20 alkylene group, a C6-C20 arylene group or a C2-C20 heteroarylene group; and
