Abstract: Provided are a curable resin mixture and a curable resin composition which contain a polyalkenylphenol resin and an aromatic polymaleimide compound having high crystallinity and a high melting point, and which exhibit excellent fluidity and reactivity. Also provided is a method for producing a curable resin mixture that contains: (A) a polyalkenylphenol resin which contains a polyalkenylphenol compound having at least 2 phenol skeletons in the molecule, a prescribed 2-alkenyl group being bonded to some or all of aromatic rings that form the phenol skeletons in the molecule; and (B) an aromatic polymaleimide compound. The method comprises: heating the aromatic polymaleimide compound (B) to the melting point or above and thereby melting the compound; and mixing the molten aromatic polymaleimide compound (B) and the polyalkenylphenol resin (A) within a temperature range at which the aromatic polymaleimide compound (B) does not recrystallize.

Abstract: A curable resin composition, which has excellent flowability and reactivity at the time of molding, with which a highly reliable cured product which has excellent heat resistance can be obtained by curing is provided. A curable resin composition comprising a polyalkenyl phenol compound (A) and a polymaleimide compound (B), wherein the polyalkenyl phenol compound (A) is a compound containing at least two structural units represented by the following formula (1): where R1 and R2 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a C1-10 alkyl group, a C1-2 alkoxy group, or a hydroxy group, Q represents a C5-10 cycloalkylene group or a divalent organic group containing an alicyclic fused ring, and Y is an alkenyl group.

Abstract: A curable resin composition provides a cured resin product having excellent heat resistance and flame retardancy by curing. The curable resin composition includes a polyalkenyl phenol compound (A) and a polymaleimide compound (B), wherein the polyalkenyl phenol compound (A) is a compound containing at least two structural units represented by the following formula (1a): where R1 to R7 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a C1-10 alkyl group, a C1-2 alkoxy group, a C2-6 alkenyl group, or a hydroxy group, Y1 is an alkenyl group.

Abstract: Provided is a method with which it is possible to produce a polyalkenylphenol compound having a narrow molecular weight distribution and low viscosity at high purity and high yield. A poly 2-alkenyl aromatic ether compound having two or more phenol skeletons is subjected to Claisen rearrangement in the presence of a phenol or naphthol compound.
