Abstract: Hydroxybenzaldehydes of the formula (I) are prepared from a benzaldehyde of the formula (II) or its acetal, in which R1 in the R1O-phenyl ether group is an alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkylcycloalkyl or alkylaryl radical, R2 is H or OH or is identical to R1 and one or more R1O-phenyl ether groups are ortho, meta or para to the aldehyde function, by a process in which a benzaldehyde of the formula (II) or its acetal, in which R1 and R2 have the abovementioned meanings and one or more R1O-phenyl ether groups occupy the abovementioned position with respect to the aldehyde function, is converted into a hydroxybenzaldehyde of the formula (I) in the presence of water over a zeolite as a heterogeneous catalyst. The catalysts used are, in particular, zeolites of the pentasil type.
