Bisphenol composition and polycarbonate resin

A polycarbonate resin, comprising:

• at least a repeating structural unit represented by formula (A):
• where R1 to R6 independently denote a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, or an aryl group, and the alkyl group, the alkoxy group, and the aryl group are optionally substituted or unsubstituted, R5 and R6 are optionally bonded between the two groups, and R5, R6, and an adjacent carbon atom are optionally bonded together and form a cycloalkylidene group optionally containing a heteroatom,
• wherein a compound produced by alkaline hydrolysis of the polycarbonate resin contains
• a bisphenol represented by formula (I);
• and
• a compound represented by formula (II), which constitutes 5 mass ppm or more of the polycarbonate resin:
• where R11 denotes a halogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, or an aryl group, R12 to R14 independently denote a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, or an aryl group, R15 and R16 independently denote a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, or an aryl group, and R15 and R16 are optionally bonded between the two groups, provided that R15 and R16 are not bonded to an adjacent carbon atom,
• where R21 and R22 denote a methyl group or a hydrogen atom, R22 is a methyl group when R21 is a hydrogen atom, R22 is a hydrogen atom when R21 is a methyl group, R23 to R25 independently denote a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and of R23, R24, and R25 are optionally bonded between two of the groups.
