Disclosed is a process for preparing a polyhydroxyphenylene ether resin which comprises copolymerizing a phenol-substituted compound having hydroxyl group as a substituent, represented by the formula (I):n n wherein m and n each represents an integer satisfying the formulae 1 ≦ m and m + n ≦ 4; J represents {(HO) a -R¹-S} b -R²- where a and b each represents an integer of 1 to 6; and R¹ and R² each represents unsubstituted or halogen-substituted alkylene, alkenylene or arylene, or alkylene; K represents halogen, primary or secondary alkyl, alkenyl, phenyl, aminoalkyl, haloalkyl, hydrocarbonoxy or halohydrocarbonoxy; nwith at least one phenol-substituted compound represented by the formula (II):n n wherein Qs each represents hydrogen, halogen, primary or secondary alkyl, alkenyl, aromatic, aminoalkyl, haloalkyl, hydrocarbonoxy or halohydrocarbonoxy, nand a resin composition containing the polyhydroxyphenylene ether resin prepared by the above method. |
