The invention relates to a method for synthesizing 4-chloro-2, 3, 5-tetramethylpiperidine by using a 
microreactor. According to the method, intermediate 2, 5-dimethoxychlorobenzene of 4-chloro-2, 5-dimethoxynitrobenzene and 
nitric acid are used as raw materials, 4-chloro-2, 5-dimethoxynitrobenzene is synthesized through the 
microreactor, in the reaction process, the 
mass fraction of 
nitric acid is50%-95%, and the 
mass fraction of a 2, 5-dimethoxychlorobenzene solution is 15%-50%; the feeding 
molar ratio of 
nitric acid to 2, 5-dimethoxychlorobenzene is (1.0-1.5): 1, the 
reaction temperature is50-85 DEG C, the feeding temperature is not higher than 50 DEG C, and the reaction 
retention time is 30-120 seconds. According to the method, on one hand, the 
process conditions such as the materialratio and the 
reaction temperature are accurately controlled, the dosage of nitric acid is reduced, the method is 
environmentally friendly, the conversion rate of 2, 5-dimethoxychlorobenzene reaches 99.98%, and the yield of 4-chloro-2, 5-dimethoxynitrobenzene reaches 99.5% or above; on the other hand, the key problems of corrosivity of nitric acid, difficulty in controlling the 
reaction temperature, poor 
mass and 
heat transfer effect, poor safety and the like in the conventional synthesis process are solved, and the reaction risk is low; strong 
operability.
