PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide both a method for producing a 3-alkoxyalkanal being a 3-alkoxyalkanol precursor to give the 3-alkoxyalkanol useful as a solvent for a coating material, photoresist, etc., and a 1,1,3-trialkoxyalkane and a method for industrially advantaeouslyu producing a high-purity 3-alkoxyalkanol. SOLUTION: This method for producing a 3-alkoxyalkanol comprises bringing an alcohol in a mostly vaporizable amount into contact with a gas formed by oxidation of propylene or isobutylene to give an acrolein gas or methacrolein gas, reacting the acrolein gas or methacrolein gas with an alcohol to produce a 1,1,3-trialkoxyalkane, hydrolyzing the 1,1,3-trialkoxyalkane and hydrogenating the resultant substance.
