The present invention provides a novel epoxy compound having well-balanced properties such as heat resistance, mechanical properties, handling properties, and solvent solubility. The starting phenol has a fluorene structure represented by the formula (1). (Rings Z 1 and Z 2 are aromatic hydrocarbon rings, R 1 and R 2 are substituents, R 3 is H or a hydrocarbon group, R 4 is a substituent that is not a hydroxyl group, k is an integer of 0 to 4, m and p are each an integer of 0 or more, and n, q and r are each an integer of 1 or more) [Selection figure] None |
