The invention discloses a preparation method for synthesizing (S)-5-bromo-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydro-N-Boc-isoquinoline-1-carboxylic acid, and belongs to the technical field of medical intermediates. The method comprises the following steps: reacting o-bromophenylethylamine serving as a raw material with benzyl chloroformate in an alkaline environment to obtain benzyl o-bromophenylethylamine formate; then carrying out cyclization reaction with glyoxylic acid under the catalysis of acid; then carrying out palladium-carbon catalytic hydrogenation to remove protection, so as to obtain 5-bromo-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-1-carboxylic acid; finally, obtaining the (S)-5-bromo-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydro-N-Boc-isoquinoline-1-carboxylic acid through induced resolution and Boc protection. The method is simple, convenient and stable in process operation, high in yield, environmentally friendly, cheap and easily available in raw materials and beneficial to industrial production.
