A process for producing an alkoxytetrazol- 1-ylbenzaldehyde compound represented by the general formula (2): (wherein A1 represents alkoxy and A2 represents hydrogen, alkyl, or fluoroalkyl), characterized by reacting a 1- (alkoxyphenyl)-1H-tetrazole compound represented by the general formula (1): (wherein A1 and A2 are the same as defined above) with hexamethylenetetramine in a sulfonic acid solvent and subsequently hydrolyzing the reaction product. Thus, an alkoxytetrazol-1- ylbenzaldehyde compound can be safely and efficiently produced by formylating a 1-(alkoxyphenyl)-1H-tetrazole compound.
