To provide phosphorus-containing epoxy resins and phosphorus-containing epoxy resin compositions having high levels of appearance, yield and economic efficiency and cured products thereof that are used for various applications. A phosphorus-containing phenol compound represented by Formula (3) obtained by reacting a compound represented by Formula (2) with a compound represented by Formula (1), wherein in the peak area (A) of the component represented by Formula (1) on a chromatogram measured under specific conditions by gel permeation chromatography, peak area (B) on the high-molecular-weight side of the component of Formula (1), and total area (C) of peak area (A) and peak area (B), the value obtained by dividing peak area (B) by total area (C) is 8 area % or less, and epoxy resin compositions and cured products comprising the phosphorus-containing phenol compound as an essential ingredient.

Phosphorus-containing phenol compound, production method therefor, and curable resin compositons and cured products using the compound

A novel phosphorous-containing epoxy resin having a naphthalene skeleton is suitable as an insulating material, such as a copper-clad laminate used in an electronic circuit board, and a sealing material, molding material, casting material, adhesive or film material used in an electric component. Furthermore, this epoxy resin is suitable as a material for an electrically insulating coating.
