The invention belongs to the field of drug synthesis, and in particular relates to a preparation method of ambrisentan. In the preparation method, ambrisentan is prepared through benzyl protection reaction, condensation reaction and benzyl protection group removal reaction. Among them, the benzyl-protected intermediate is directly put into the next step of anti-condensation reaction without post-treatment; the debenzylation reaction adopts catalytic hydrogenation, which is green and environmentally friendly, and the reaction operation and post-treatment are simple. After being treated with ether solvent and beating, it can effectively remove the residual raw materials and impurities in the solid. intermediate, obtain the ambrisentan crude product, and then adopt the steps of recrystallization from methanol / water mixed solvent to obtain high-purity ambrisentan. The overall route has few steps and high yield, short production cycle, simple operation, good reproducibility and mild conditions, and is suitable for industrial production.
