Polycarbonate resin containing reduced levels of reaction by-products can be prepared by adding to the polycarbonate a scavenging agent having the formula:wherein R1 is alkoxy, phenoxy, benzyloxy or phenyl, and R2 is a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C30 alkyl group, C6-C30 aryl group, C7-C30 aralkyl group or C6-C30 aryloxy group and processing the resulting mixture at an elevated temperature and for a period of time such that the scavenging agent reacts with linear Fries products to produce capped linear Fries products, and with residual phenols (monohydric or dihydric) to produce capped phenols and ortho-substituted phenols.
