To provide a new fluorine-containing unsaturated alcohol useful e.g. as a synthetic raw material for a polysiloxane having a fluorine-containing norbornane skeleton and suitable e.g. as a resin component of a resist having high transparency to the radiation of ≤193 nm wavelength and excellent resolution, sensitivity, developability, dry-etching resistance, etc., and enabling easy control of the solubility to an alkaline developing liquid and provide a method for the production of the alcohol.

The fluorine-containing unsaturated alcohol is expressed by formula (1) (x is an integer of 0-5; and y is an integer of 1-3). The fluorine-containing unsaturated alcohol is produced by the dehydrofluorination reaction of a fluorinated alcohol expressed by formula (i).
