The invention discloses a method for synthesizing [(4-amino-3,5-dichloro-6-fluoro-2-pyridinyl)oxy]acetic acid by using a one-pot method. The method comprises the following steps of: carrying out esterification reaction between glycolic acid and DL-2-Octanol under the action of a catalyst (I), subsequently feeding [(4-amino-3,5-dichloro-6-fluoro-2-pyridinyl)oxy]acetic acid, an acid-binding agent and a catalyst (II), heating and keeping the temperature till the condensation reaction is completely accomplished, and carrying out aftertreatment so as to obtain [(4-amino-3,5-dichloro-6-fluoro-2-pyridinyl)oxy]acetic acid. The method has the beneficial effects that firstly, the five main steps of the conventional preparation method are reduced to three steps, and the catalysts are introduced, so that the yield is kept be at a higher level, the raw material consumption is reduced, and the cost is lowered; secondly, the steps of separation and drying are canceled, so that the equipment consumption and the energy consumption are reduced, and no pyridol compounds which have serious pollution to the environment are generated, thereby being environmental-friendly; and thirdly, the preparation method is simple in process, simple and convenient to operate and high in yield, and is applicable to large-scale industrial production.
