The invention discloses a method for synthesizing chiral amine. According to the method, a catalytic amount of ketone is used as a self-catalyst, alkali which is cheap and easy to get is used as a synergistic catalyst, a 1-aryl-alcoho compound is used as a substrate, chiral methylpropane-2-sulfinamide is used as an amine source, in an inert gas atmosphere, asymmetric amination reaction of alcoholis completed, and through a one-pot method, the chiral amine is obtained. According to the method for synthesizing the chiral amine, a reaction system is simple, operation is simple and convenient, economic benefits are high, transition metal catalysts or other auxiliary additives are not needed, a chiral product does not contain transition metal residues, and the method for synthesizing the chiral amine is clean, safe and efficient; moreover, the target product yield (41%-82%) is high, the stereoselectivity is good (a dr is 99:1), the defects that traditional raw material agents are expensive, a reaction system is complex, synthesis steps are tedious, a deuterated ratio is low, the stereoselectivity is low, and the like are overcome, and the method for synthesizing the chiral amine has very important application prospects in medicine synthesis especially.
