The invention discloses a synthesis method of 
myricetin. The method includes the steps of: adding an alkaline solution into a dihydromyricetin 
aqueous solution, and then performing heating under a 
reflux state; adding a 
selenium dioxide 
aqueous solution, then stirring at a 
reflux temperature for reaction, and then performing cooling to 
room temperature; adding acid to adjust the pH value, conducting stirring and rotary 
evaporation, and then performing stirring and filtering; adding an 
ethanol aqueous solution into a 
filter cake, performing pulping and filtering, flushing the 
filter cake with an 
ethanol aqueous solution, collecting the 
filter cake, and performing 
drying to obtain red 
selenium; combining an organic phases, and performing spin-
drying till no 
ethanol smell, precipitating a large amount of 
solid, performing filtering, and flushing the filter cake with an ethanol aqueous solution to obtain a yellow 
solid, i.e. 
myricetin. The method has the advantages that: 1, the reaction issimple and easy to operate; 2, water and a small amount of ethanol are mainly used as the 
solvent, and the emission of three wastes is low; 3, red 
selenium with economic value can be recovered; 4, the obtained 
myricetin is high in purity; and 5, the method can achieve multiple purposes, has very good 
economic benefits, and is suitable for large-scale production.
