NOVEL POLYVALENT HYDROXY COMPOUND, METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME, EPOXY RESIN USING THE COMPOUND, AND EPOXY RESIN COMPOSITION AND CURED PRODUCT THEREOF

摘要

Disclosed are a novel polyvalent hydroxy compound and an epoxy resin, each of which can be represented by the general formula (1) below. The resin is excellent in close adhesion to a material of a different kind, and enables to obtain a cured product having excellent flame retardancy and heat resistance. In the formula, A represents a benzene ring or naphthalene ring which may be substituted by a hydrocarbon group having 1-8 carbon atoms; R₁ and R₂ may be the same or different and represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1-6 carbon atoms; G representsa hydrogen atom or a glycidyl group; n represents a number of 1-10; and m represents an integer of 1-2.
