A method for preparing a 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde having at least one substituent in the ortho position of the OH group, is disclosed. In particular, the preparation of 3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde is disclosed. The method for preparing a 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde which is at least 3-substituted by an alkoxy group comprises a step wherein a phenol compound which is at least 2-substituted by an alkoxy group and has positions 4 and 6 free is carboxylated in position 6 then hydroxymethylated in position 4, followed by a step of oxidising the hydroxymethyl group to a formyl group, and finally a decarboxylation step.
