There is provided a method for obtaining a target organic compound such as an alkyladamantyl ester efficiently by purifying a crude organic compound which contains, as impurities, sublimable materials which start to sublime at temperatures lower than a boiling point of the target organic compound by use of such a simple method as distillation during its production process, without being adversely affected by adherence of the sublimable materials. The distillation is carried out in the presence of a compound having a boiling point which is lower than a boiling point of the target organic compound, e.g., a carbonyl-group-containing compound. For example, 2-methyl-2-adamantyl methacrylate (boiling point: 92 DEG C/0.3 mmHg) containing sublimable impurities such as adamantane (sublimation starting temperature: room temperature or lower) is distilled in the presence of 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone (boiling point: 225 DEG C).
