The invention relates to a process for preparing high-pure 4-hydroxybenzophenone, which belongs to the field of organic chemical synthesis. The process includes steps of adding and stirring chlorobenzene and aluminium choride in a reactor, dripping mixing fluid of phenol and chlorobenzene when at a temperature of 10DEG C-50 DEG C, stirring for 30 min again after dripping, dripping benzoyl, raising temperature slowly, reacting for 2h when at a temperature of 40DEG C-45DEG C, reacting for 1h when at a temperature of 60DEG C-70DEG C, slowing adding reaction fluid into cold water, stirring for 2hwhen at the temperature of 20-30DEG C, centrifuging, washing solid via water until being neutral, drying to obtain crude 4-hydroxybenzophenone, utilizing toluene with quantity double of that of the crude 4-hydroxybenzophenone to recrystallize to obtain white 4-hydroxybenzophenone, washing an oil layer via water until being neutral, distilling anhydrous calcium chloride after drying and then recycling chlorobenzene. Mole ratio of phenol and benzoyl chloride is 1: (1-1.5), mole ratio of phenol and aluminium choride is 1: (1-2), and mass ratio of phenol and chlorobenzene is 1: (1-5). The processutilizes the chlorobenzene as a reaction solvent, greatly increases purity and yield of products, and greatly reduces usage of the solvent.
