Method for producing allyl alcohols
 A method for producing allyl alcohols, which comprises heat-treating diallyl ethers in the presence of a catalyst containing a palladium compound and a phosphorus compound to convert them to allyl alcohols, wherein the heat treatment is conducted under such conversion reaction conditions that the value of function F represented by the following formula is within a range of 0.ltoreq.F<100, the concentration of allyl alcohols in the conversion reaction solution is not higher than 20 wt %, and the Pd concentration in the conversion reaction solution is within a range of from 0.005 to 1.0 wt %: EQU F=.theta.t.multidot.[Pd].multidot.(t-100 wherein .theta.t is the conversion reaction time (hours), [Pd] is the Pd concentration (wt %) in the conversion reaction solution, and T is the conversion reaction temperature (.degree.C.)
