A process for producing technically pure, chlorine-free cyclohexadecadiene by purifying the product mixture obtained preferably from the metathesis of cyclooctene by first removing by distillation the low boiling C6 hydrocarbons and any water that may be present, then treating the sump product with a solution of a strongly alkaline compound at about 100 DEG -250 DEG C. After separation of the thus-formed salts, the thus-pretreated product mixture may be subjected to fractional distillation in the usual way.
