Provided is a method for synthesizing carbamazepine. The method comprises the steps that 1 part by weight of iminostilbene and 10 parts by weight of benzene are put into a glass lining reaction vessel of 1,000 L to be dissolved, and the materials react with 0.7 part of triphosgene for 5 h to 6 h at 70 DEG C to 80 DEG C after being dissolved to enable all the materials to react completely; 2/3 of benzene is distilled off through reduced pressure distillation, suction filtration is conducted after cooling is conducted, the materials are put into a drying oven or a drying room to be dried for 3 h to 4 h at 60 DEG C after being filtered, iminostilbene carbonyl chloride is obtained and put into a glass lining reaction vessel of 1,000 L, 15 parts of 95% ethyl alcohol is added, the materials are dissolved in the glass lining reaction vessel, 0.8 part of liquid ammonia is dropwise added, reacting is conducted for 8 h at 50 DEG C to 60 DEG C, heat preservation is conducted for 30 min, all the materials are cooled to room temperature, 1%-3% by weight of activated carbon is added, the temperature is increased to 78 DEG C, decoloration is conducted for 2 h, a mother solution is subjected to hot filtration, residues are discarded, and the mother solution is sent back to the glass lining reaction vessel; 1/2 of ethyl alcohol is distilled off, after cooling is conducted, natural crystallization and suction filtration are conducted, a crystal substance obtained after filtration is conducted is put into the drying oven or drying room to be dried for 3 h to 4 h at 60 DEG C, and the finished carbamazepine product is obtained. The yield ranges from 82% to 90%, and the content ranges from 91.5% to 99.1%.
