Abstract

A novel polythiol having four or more functional groups, a process for producing the polythiol comprising reacting thiourea with a specific compound, a sulfur-containing urethane-based resin prepared from the polythiol and a lens made of the resin. The resin has a high refractive index, and low dispersion of refractive index, is lightweight, colorless and transparent, has no optical distortion, and has excellent characteristics in weatherability, dye-affinity, heat resistance, impact resistance and machinability.
