Polyalcohols are produced by a process comprising hydrogenating polyketones, which are copolymers of carbon monoxide and at least one olefin, in the presence of a catalyst and a solvent. The catalyst is prepared from a ruthenium-containing compound and a trialkylphosphine. The trialkylphosphine is represented by the general formula (I): R1R2R3P (I) wherein R1, R2, and R3 each represent an alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon groups. The carbon groups may be substituted. The process requires minimal amounts of the catalyst, and the polyalcohols produced by this method have a high hydroxyl group content.
