The invention discloses a novel synthesis process of prasugrel. The novel synthesis process comprises the steps: firstly, carrying out benzyl protection by taking 4, 5, 6, 7-tetrahydrothieno[3, 2-c]pyridine, benzaldehyde and sodium triacetoxyborohydride as starting raw materials to generate 5-benzyl-4, 5, 6, 7-tetrahydrothieno[3, 2-c]pyridine; then, brominating the 5-benzyl-4, 5, 6, 7-tetrahydrothieno[3, 2-c]pyridine by using hydrobromic acid to obtain 2-bromo-5-benzyl-4, 5, 6, 7-tetrahydrothieno[3, 2-c]pyridine; next, catalytically synthesizing 2-acetoxy-5-benzyl-4, 5, 6, 7-tetrahydrothieno[3, 2-c]pyridine by taking palladium acetate as a catalyst and XPhos as a ligand; and finally, carrying out hydrodebenzylation, and coupling the product with alpha-bromo-o-fluorobenzyl cyclopropyl ketone to obtain a target molecule 2-acetoxy-5-(alpha-cyclopropylcarbonyl-2-fluorobenzyl)-4, 5, 6, 7-tetrahydrothieno[3, 2-c]pyridine hydrochloride, i.e., the prasugrel hydrochloride. The process is simple, convenient and novel in route, easy to obtain raw materials, mild in condition, convenient to operate, high in total yield up to 80-90% and suitable for large-scale production.
