The invention discloses a preparation method for catalytic synthesis of 4,4'-diaminostilbene. The preparation method comprises the following steps: with a superparamagnetic nanoparticle loaded ionic liquid as a catalyst, subjecting chlorobenzene and thionyl chloride to a Friedel-Crafts reaction under the action of the catalyst, after the reaction is completed, additionally adding a catalyst recovered by a magnetic field, pouring out a reaction solution, dropwise adding a saturated sodium bicarbonate solution into the reaction solution until the pH value of the solution is adjusted to be neutral, then carrying out stirring, filtering the material liquid while the material liquid is hot, cooling a filtrate to 0-5 DEG C for crystallizing, carrying out filtering so as to obtain 4,4'-dichlorodiphenyl sulfoxide, dissolving the 4,4'-dichlorodiphenyl sulfoxide into glacial acetic acid, adding hydrogen peroxide for an oxidation reaction, carrying out cooling after the reaction is finished, andcarrying out filtering so as to obtain 4,4'-dichlorodiphenyl sulfone. According to the invention, the chlorobenzene is used as a reaction raw material and a solvent; no solvent impurities are not mixed; meanwhile, simple process, low cost and few impurities are achieved; an obtained product is high in purity and has a content of 99.2% or above; the content of a 2,4'-isomer is smaller than 0.1%; the yield reaches 90% or above; and the preparation method provided by the invention is good in economic benefit and applicable to industrial production.
