In 30 ml of methanol were dissolved 14.73 g of the 2'-hydroxy-4',6'-bis(methoxymethoxy)-3'-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)acetophenone obtained in Production Example 13 and 7.55 g of the p-methoxymethoxybenzaldehyde obtained in Production Example 25, and a saturated solution of sodium hydroxide in methanol was added to the solution and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 day to effect a reaction. After the reaction, the reaction mixture was carefully neutralized with dilute hydrochloric acid and extracted with 1.5 l of ethyl acetate, and the ethyl acetate layer was washed with water (500 ml×4 times), shaken with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride (300 ml×2 times), dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered. The solvent was removed from the filtrate by distillation to obtain 18.94 g (yield=88.2%) of 2'-hydroxy-4,4',6'-tris(methoxymethoxy)-3'-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)chalcone in the form of a yellow oil.
