The invention discloses a method for synthesizing high purity 3, 3 ', 5, 5'-tetramethyl-4, 4'-diphenol. In alkaline emulsion reaction conditions, three stages of combination reactions are performed, 2,6-dimethylphenol is oxidized and coupled into 3, 3 ', 5, 5'-tetramethyl-4, 4'-diphenol, the 3, 3 ', 5, 5'-tetramethyl-4, 4'-diphenol is cooled to form a 3, 3 ', 5, 5'-tetramethyl-4, 4'-diphenol precipitation product in alkaline emulsion, the 3, 3 ', 5, 5'-tetramethyl-4, 4'-diphenol precipitation product is filtered and washed with water to obtain the high purity 3, 3 ', 5, 5'-tetramethyl-4, 4'-diphenol product with the product yield of 60-70% and purity mass percent up to 99%, alkaline emulsion filtrate and water washing liquid are recycled after recovery and deployment, a copper salt catalyst is small in amount, soluble in water and easy to remove, and product quality requirements of 3, 3 ', 5, 5'-tetramethyl-4, 4'-diphenol diglycidyl ether biphenyl epoxy molding compounds in microelectronics industry can be met.
