PCT No. PCT/JP93/00891 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 6, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 6, 1994 PCT Filed Jun. 29, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/00410 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 6, 1994The disclosure describes a process for producing alkadienols comprising the steps of: reacting a conjugated alkadiene with water in a reaction solvent in the presence of a palladium catalyst; distilling the obtained reaction mixture so as to separate the reaction solvent from the reaction mixture while directly supplying heated water, steam or a mixture thereof as a heating medium to a distillation column, under the condition that the temperature of a bottom liquid in the distillation column is not higher than 120 DEG C.; and phase-separating bottoms discharged from the bottom of the distillation column.
