The task is to provide a method for producing straight-chain trisiloxane with a hydroxyl group at one end of the molecular chain and a hydroxyl group or alkoxy group at the other end, using an easily accessible cyclic trisiloxane as a raw material, with high yield and in a single step. The solution involves reacting various cyclic trisiloxanes with water or alcohol in the presence of hydrogen gas and/or a hydrogen generator, as well as a transition metal catalyst, to produce the desired trisiloxane compound. No figures are included.
