The invention discloses a method for preparing high-purity fenofibric acid in a phase transfer catalysis method, which belongs to the field of a fenofibric acid catalytic synthesis process. The methodcomprises the following steps: adopting 4-hydroxyl-4'-chlorobenzophenone, acetone and chloroform as raw materials, adopting a 40 percent sodium hydroxide solution as a catalyst, adopting PEG-400 as aphase transfer catalyst, adopting methylbenzene as a solvent, performing the condensation reaction, filtering, acidifying, separating the solution, heating, washing, filtering, washing, recrystallizing by virtue of absolute ethyl alcohol, and drying, thus obtaining the high-purity fenofibric acid. By adopting the method, the use and consumption of precursor chemical acetone can be greatly reduced, the loss of the solvent is significantly reduced, less waste is produced, and the method is a green method for synthesizing fenofibric acid and is suitable for the industrialized production.
