The invention relates to a production method of a C5 enol. The production method uses isoprene and hydrogen chloride as raw materials and comprises the following steps: 1) performing addition reaction on isoprene and hydrogen chloride to generate a mixture of 1-chloro-isopentene and 3-chloro-isopentene; and 2) performing a hydrolysis reaction on the product of the addition reaction, adding one or more of toluene, ethylbenzene, n-hexane, cyclohexane, 2-methylpentane, 3-methylpentane, 2,2-dimethylbutane, 2,3-dimethylbutane and heptane as the solvent in the hydrolysis process, separating out the oil phase product after the hydrolysis, and rectifying to obtain products, namely methylbutenol and 3-methyl-2-buten-1-ol. Compared with the C5 enol production process of the prior art, the side reaction, in which dichloro-isopentane is generated, in the addition reaction process is effectively inhibited; after the solvent is added in the hydrolysis reaction, the yield of the hydrolysis reaction can be increased and the purification of the product can be facilitated; the yields of the addition reaction and the hydrolysis reaction are both more than 98% and are obviously increased as compared with the prior art; and the production cost is greatly reduced.
