PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a fluoroalcohol suitable for producing information recording media and photoreceptors for films by reaction between methanol and tetrafluoroethylene or the like in the presence of a reaction initiator followed by removing the undecomposed reaction initiator from the system and then carrying out a distillation. SOLUTION: This fluoroalcohol of the formula H(CFR1CF2)nCH2OH (n is 1 or 2, when n=1, R1 is F or CF3, or when n=2, R1 is F) is obtained by reaction between methanol and tetrafluoroethylene or hexafluoropropylene in the presence of a reaction initiator (e.g. di-t-butyl peroxide) followed by removing the undecomposed reaction initiator in the resultant reaction liquid and then carrying out a distillation; wherein removal of the undecomposed reaction initiator is accomplished preferably by decomposing it through heating the reaction liquid, contacting the liquid with an acid catalyst, base or reducing agent, irradiating the liquid with ultraviolet rays, or the like.
