The invention discloses a synthesis method of a photocatalytic tertiary amine compound. The method is specifically carried out according to the steps of: adding a photosensitizer and an alkaline substance into a Schlenk reaction tube, in a nitrogen atmosphere, dissolving olefin shown as formula I, formula II or formula III and tertiary amine shown as formula IV in an organic solvent to obtain a mixed solution, adding the mixed solution into the above reaction tube, carrying out stirring reaction for 6-14h at 25DEG C under the irradiation of a light source, and performing aftertreatment on theobtained reaction solution to obtain an amine compound shown as formula V, formula VI or formula VII respectively; wherein the mole ratio of the photosensitizer, the alkaline substance, the olefin shown as formula I, formula II or formula III and the tertiary amine shown as formula IV is 0.05:1-2:1:1.5-2.5. The method disclosed by the invention can be used for synthesis of tertiary amine that is difficult to prepare by existing method; a cheap and easily available copper-based catalyst is employed to replace a noble metal catalyst, and the toxicity is low; and the method has the advantages ofmild reaction conditions, saving of energy consumption, high yield, strong substrate universality, simple operation and the like.
