The invention discloses a method for synthesizing 1,3,4,6-tetraacetyl-L-gulose. According to the method, a compound, namely, 1,3,4,6-tetraacetatyl-L-gulose is prepared from glucuronolactone serving as a raw material by performing the steps of acetonide protection, benzyl protection, lactone reduction, hemiacetal hydroxyl protection, acetonide de-protection, lactone reduction, hemiacetal hydroxyl de-protection, acetyl protection and benzyl deprotection. In the method, experience reagents are not used, so that the cost is reduced; involved operation is simple and convenient, conditions are easy to control, and industrial production is easy; the total yield is high, and can be magnified to gram grade and over.
