Disclosed is a process for producing 2,2-bis(4'-hydroxyphenyl)propanes represented by the following general formula (2): <CHEM> (wherein R<2> represents hydrogen atom or a hologen atom and the four R<2> may be identical or different, R<3> and R<4> which may be identical or different represent hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group, an aralkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an alkoxy group or a halogen atom, p and q which may be identical or different represent integers of 1-4, a is 2 or 3 and b is 2 when a is 2 and is 1 when a is 3), characterized by reacting at least one phenol represented by the following formula (1): <CHEM> (wherein R<1> has the same meaning as R<3> and R<4> and n is an integer of 1-4) with an unsaturated carbon compound represented by the general formula: C3R @ (wherein R<2> has the same meaning as in the formula (2) and the four R<2> may be identical or different) in the presence of hydrochloric acid. |
