A clean process for efficiently producing, from ethanol as a raw material, higher-molecular alcohols having an even number of carbon atoms, such as 1-butanol, hexanol, octanol, and decanol and a mixture of these. The higher-molecular alcohols are yielded from ethanol as a starting material with the aid of a calcium phosphate compound, e.g., hydroxyapatite Ca 10(PO4)6(OH)2, tricalcium phosphate Ca3(PO4)2, calcium monohydrogen phosphate CaHPO4.(0-2)H2O, calcium diphosphate Ca2P2O7, octacalcium phosphate Ca8H2(PO4)6.5H 2O, tetracalcium phosphate Ca4(PO4) 2O, or amorphous calcium phosphate Ca3(PO4) 2.nH2O, preferably hydroxyapatite, as a catalyst, the contact time being 0.4 seconds or longer.
