The invention relates to a synthetic technology for 3-phenyl-5-(thiophene-2-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole. The technology includes following steps: 1) filling a reaction container with 2-thiophenecarboxylic acid and a solvent with stirring and dissolving, adding thionyl chloride with a heating reflux process, wherein the mole ratio of the 2-thiophenecarboxylic acid to the thionyl chloride is 1:2-5 and refluxing reaction time is 3-20h, after the reaction being finished, removing the solvent and excess thionyl chloride in a manner of evaporation and carrying out an underpressure distillation process to obtain 2-thiophenecarbonyl chloride; 2) dissolving N-hydroxy-benzamidine in a solvent, adding 2-thiopheneacetyl chloride in a dropwise manner, carrying out a heating reaction after the dropwise addition. After the reaction being finished, pouring the reaction product into water, carrying out a layering process, carrying out an extracting process to a water layer through a solvent and carrying out a concentrating crystallization process to obtain a product. With improvement of the technology, reaction processes are reduced and reaction time is shortened. Yield of the 3-phenyl-5-(thiophene-2-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole is increased from 50% to more than 80% and overall yield of the 3-phenyl-5-(thiophene-2-yl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole is increased.
