Bisphenol having fluorene skeleton, method for producing same, polyarylate resin, (meth)acrylate compound and epoxy resin which are derived from the bisphenol

A polyarylate resin having a constituent unit derived from a bisphenol represented by a general formula (1) below:

• (where R1 to R4 are the same or different, and each represent an alkyl group, an aryl group or a halogen atom, n1 and n2 are the same or different, and each represent an integer of 1 to 4, and k1 to k4 are the same or different, and each represent 0 or an integer of 1 to 4;
• and when at least one of k1 to k4 is 2 or more, corresponding R1 to R4 may be the same or different), and a constituent unit derived from an aromatic dicarboxylic acid.

A (meth)acrylate compound represented by a general formula (3) below:

• (where R1 to R4 are the same or different, and each represent an alkyl group, an aryl group or a halogen atom, n1 and n2 are the same or different, and each represent an integer of 1 to 4, and k1 to k4 are the same or different, and each represent 0 or an integer of 1 to 4;
• and when at least one of k1 to k4 is 2 or more, corresponding R1 to R4 may be the same or different;
• and R7 and R8 are the same or different, and each represent a hydrogen atom or a methyl group).

An epoxy resin comprising in a main chain a constituent unit derived from a bisphenol represented by a general formula (1) below:

• (where R1 to R4 are the same or different, and each represent an alkyl group, an aryl group or a halogen atom, n1 and n2 are the same or different, and each represent an integer of 1 to 4, and k1 to k4 are the same or different, and each represent 0 or an integer of 1 to 4;
• and when at least one of k1 to k4 is 2 or more, corresponding R1 to R4 may be the same or different).
