The present invention is related to novel epoxy compounds of formula (1) which can be used as raw material for cured epoxy resin showing liquid crystal-like property, and related to a method of preparing said epoxy compounds and a composition containing the same. The formula (1) is as follows: (in formula (1), Ar1, Ar2 and Ar3 respectively represent any of the following divalent groups: (R represents an alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms; a represents 1 to 8; b, e and g represent 1 to 6; c represents 1 to 7; d and h represent 1 to 4; and f represents 1 to 5); R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 respectively represent hydrogen or an alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms; Q1 and Q2 respectively represent an alkylene group having 1 to 9 carbon atoms, in addition, methylene constituting said ethylene group can be optionally substituted by alkyl groups having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, and can optionally have -O- or -N(R7)-(wherein R7 represents hydrogen or an alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms) inserted therebetween). |
