Process for producing 2-alkyl-2cyclopentenones

Industrially advantageous processes for producing a 2-alkyl-2-cyclopentenone in high yields starting from a 2-(1-hydroxyalkyl)cyclopentanone or a 2-alkylidenecyclopentanone, which are obtainable from a cyclopentanone and a carbonyl compound. A 2-(1-hydroxyalkyl)cyclopentanone represented by the following general formula (1): (wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 and R7 each independently represents hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms which may have one or more substituents or an aromatic group which may have one or more substituents, and each of (1) R6 or R7 with R3 and (2) R6 or R7 with R4 or R5 may be together combined to form a ring which may have a double bond) is subjected to dehydrative isomerization in the presence of a bromine compound and/or an iodine compound.
