Polycarbonate resin and method for producing same

A method for producing a polycarbonate resin comprising a structural unit represented by general formula (1) below, wherein a molecular weight distribution value (Mw/Mn) is 6.0 or less and a content of oligomers having a molecular weight of less than 1,000 is 0.50 mass % or less:

• where, R1-26 represent hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, a C1-9 alkyl group, a C6-12 aryl group, a C1-5 alkoxy group, a C2-5 alkenyl group or a C7-17 aralkyl group, wherein the method comprises:
• a step of mixing a diol compound represented by general formula (2) below and a nitrogen-containing compound represented by general formula (3) below in an amount of less than 0.10 mass % relative to the diol compound,
• where, R1-26 represent the same as in the general formula (1),
• where, n represents any one of 2, 3 and 4, Y represents an ethyl group, a propyl group, a butyl group or a benzyl group, and X represents Cl, Br, OH or HSO4;
• and
• adding an organic solvent and a molecular weight control agent to a reaction solution containing the diol compound, the nitrogen-containing compound and phosgene, and emulsifying the resulting solution for a time shorter than 15 minutes.
