The invention discloses a preparation method of 4,5-difluorophthalic acid, the specific method steps are as follows: S1: Synthesis of 4,5-difluoro-1,2-phthalonitrile: add 4,5 ‑Difluoro‑1,2‑dihalobenzene and polymethylhydrogensiloxane, stirred and dissolved with N,N‑dimethylacetamide, and reacted, cooled after the reaction, and added tri( Dibenzylideneacetone) dipalladium and 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene, then slowly add zinc cyanide for reaction, after the reaction is completed, cool down and add water, and use sodium bicarbonate solution under vigorous stirring Adjust the pH to 8, stir for 2 hours and then filter, wash and elute with a mixed solvent of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate to obtain an off-white solid intermediate 4,5-difluoro-1,2-phthalonitrile; S2: Synthesis of 4,5‑difluoro‑1,2‑phthalic acid. The process of the invention is safe, efficient and easy to operate, has low requirements on equipment, low cost of raw materials, and is easy for industrialized production.
