The invention discloses a preparation method of a 24-epibrassinolide intermediate, and belongs to the field of chemical synthesis, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: 1) taking ergosterol as an initial raw material, carrying out methanesulfonylation under the catalysis of tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate to obtain a first-step product, namely an intermediate 1, filtering afirst-step reaction solution, and directly carrying out a next-step reaction on a filtrate; 2) adding water and potassium bicarbonate into the filtrate obtained in the step 1), carrying out heating reaction, and carrying out split-phase water removal, concentration, cooling and filtration to obtain an intermediate 2; 3) reacting the intermediate 2 with benzyl halide in the presence of an acid-binding agent to generate an etherification product; 4) reacting the etherification product with tetrabutylammonium bromide and tetrabutylammonium hydrogen persulfate to obtain an intermediate 3; compared with a traditional CrO3/pyridine oxidation method, the method has the advantages that the use of an oxidizing agent containing heavy metal chromium and having serious pollution to the environment isavoided, the reaction conditions are mild, the yield is high, the post-treatment is simple, the next step of reaction can be performed without refining, and the method is suitable for industrial production.
