Abstract

A process for the production of a stabilized polycarbonate which comprises melt-polycondensing an aromatic dihydroxy compound and a carbonic acid diester in the presence of a polycondensation catalyst and then, after the reaction mixture shows an intrinsic viscosity of at least 0.1, adding at least one stabilizer selected from the group consisting of specific compounds having a sulfanate group and a sulfonic acid anhydride group in an amount of 0.01 to 500 ppm of a polycarbonate to be formed, to form a polycarbonate having a desired intrinsic viscosity.
