PURPOSE: To easily obtain the titled alcohol wherein one of both terminals is quantitatively capped, at a low cost, by polymerizing THF in the presence of an active hydrogen-containing compound using a Lewis acid and a cyclic ether as polymerization initiators. CONSTITUTION: A polyether monoalcohol is produced by polymerizing tetrahydrofuran in the presence of a compound containing one active hydrogen atom in one molecule using a Lewis acid and a 3-4-membered cyclic ether. The active hydrogen-containing compound is a compound having hydroxyl group, carboxyl group or thiol group, e.g. methanol, cyclohexanol, etc., and the ether is selected from epoxides or oxetanes.
