PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel alicyclic diepoxy compound using a raw material of natural origin; a production process of the compound and a curable composition containing the compound; and a cured product obtained by curing the composition. SOLUTION: The alicyclic diepoxy compound, which is represented by general formula (1), is obtained by the Diels-Alder reaction ofβ-myrcene of natural origin and an olefin compound, and subsequent epoxidation of the resulting reaction product in the presence of an oxidizing agent (especially, metachloroperbenzoic acid and/or hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution). In the formula, X<SB>1</SB>and X<SB>2</SB>each represent H or -COOR in which R represents a 1-20C hydrocarbon group, except for the case where X<SB>1</SB>and X<SB>2</SB>simultaneously represent H. A curable composition containing the compound and a cured product obtained by curing the curable composition are also provided. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
