ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention is directed to a process for preparing an advanced epoxy resin by reacting (a) a compound bearing an average of more than one vicinal epoxide group per molecule with (b) a polyhydric phenol or thiophenol, in the presence of a catalytic amount of a tetrahydrocarbyl phosphonium salt. The invention is characterized in that the reaction is conducted under conditions such that the reaction and exotherm tempera- ture does not exceed 175°C and the reaction medium is essentially anhydrous. These conditions are shown to prevent significant deactivation of the catalyst. Advanced epoxy resins produced by this process are generally less colored and have epoxy equivalent weights closer to the theoretical values than prior art resins produced in the conventional manner using phosphonium salts as catalysts. The process of this invention also includes the optional step of adding a sufficient amount of a phosphonium ylid quenching agent to selectively deac- tivate the catalyst without substantial reaction with the advanced epoxy resins.
