A method of producing an alkali metal alkoxide involves the following steps: (i) providing an organic compound having at least one-OH group and having a molecular weight of 75 to 750 g/mol in a reaction vessel in an inert atmosphere; (ii) adding a Calkali metal alcoholate to obtain a reaction mixture; (iii) heating the reaction mixture of step (ii) under stirring to 25 to 180° C. to obtain the alkali metal alkoxide and a Calcohol; and (iv) distilling off the obtained Calcohol. While distilling, at least one non-polar solvent having a boiling point higher than the obtained alcohol is continuously or batchwise added to the mixture.
