The invention discloses a synthesis method of 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane and relates to the technical field of organic electroluminescent materials. On the basis of simplifying the synthesis method, wastewater generated by post-treatment is reduced, and the safety of a synthesis process is improved, so that the synthesis method is applicable to industrial production. The synthesis method comprises the following steps: firstly, carrying out a condensation reaction by taking 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoroterephthaloyl chloride andtrialkylsilyl cyanide as raw materials under an oxygen-free and dry environment to obtain an intermediate; and then, removing trialkylsiloxy in the intermediate to obtain F4-TCNQ. The synthesis method of the 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane, disclosed by the invention, is used for synthesizing organic electroluminescent materials.
