The present invention reacts an allyl alcohol with an alcohol compound in the presence of a catalyst containing at least one element selected from the group consisting of elements of the group III, lanthanoid elements and actinoid elements of the Periodic Table, as depicted in the following reaction and provides a method for efficiently producing 3-alkoxy-1-propanol in a single step using an alcohol as a starting material.

Production process of 3-alkoxy-1-propanols, and 3-alkoxy-1-propanols obtained by the production process

A method of oxidizing a carbon-carbon double bond wherein the compound having the carbon-carbon double bond is suppressed, the unreacted compound is separated from the reaction product, and thereafter the thus obtained unreacted compound is again used for the oxidizing reaction; and a process for producing an oxidized compound utilizing such an oxidizing method. When this method is used, an intended oxidized compound can be obtained with high selectivity and high productivity.
