Abstract

An aromatic polycarbonate and an active-hydrogen compound are subjected to the transesterification reaction in the presence of a transesterification catalyst under a reduced pressure condition followed by reaction with a salicylic acid ester derivative expressed by the following chemical formula (1), ##STR1## {wherein X is methyl or ethyl, and Y is a carbonyl group or a divalent functional group expressed by the following formula (2), ##STR2## (where Z is an alkylene group having a carbon number of 1 to 30, an arylene group having a carbon number of 6 to 30 or an aralkylene group having a carbon number of 7 to 30)}. An aromatic polycarbonate having a high molecular weight can be produced by this process.
