A process for producing a polyphenylene oxide which comprises oxidatively polycondensing at least one phenol in the presence of a catalyst composed of a cuprous salt and a primary or secondary amine in a mixed solvent consisting of 1 part by weight of a good solvent for the resulting polyphenylene oxide and 0.9 to 1.1 parts by weight of a poor solvent for the resulting polyphenylene oxide.
The polyphenylene oxide has superior heat resistance such that it has a glass transition point at least 5°C higher than that of a polyphenylene oxide having the same structural units and produced by a known solution polymerization method.
