The invention provides a method for synthesizing chiral 3,4-dihydroquinazolinone through asymmetric hydrogenation of a quinazolinone compound under the catalysis of iridium, wherein in the formula defined in the specification, R is C1-6 alkyl or aryl containing a substituent group, R' is at least one selected from hydrogen, C1 alkyl, alkoxy and chlorine, and the substituent group is at least one selected from F, Cl, CF3, Ph, Me and MeO. According to the invention, with the method, the substrate range is wide, the synthesis of chiral 3,4-dihydroquinazolinone is diverse, and the enantiomeric excess can achieve 98%; and the method has characteristics of simple, convenient, practical and easily-performing operation, high yield, environmental protection, commercially available catalyst, mild reaction conditions and practical application value.
