The invention provides an application of a silver catalyst in preparation of an antibacterial drug intermediate fosfomycin levoforight amine salt. The application is characterized by comprising the following steps: at room temperature, dissolving cis-propenylphosphonic acid in an alcohol solvent, slowly dropwise adding (+) alpha phenylethylamine, regulating the pH value of the system to 5.5-6 after dropwise adding, continuing stirring for 1-3 minutes, and adding the silver catalyst, continuously and slowly dropwise adding hydrogen peroxide, then continuously stirring for 10-30 minutes, quicklyheating the system to 50-55 DEG C, filtering while the system is hot, and cooling, crystallizing and washing the filtrate to obtain the fosfomycin levoforight amine salt. Silver carbonate is used asthe catalyst, hydrogen peroxide is used as an oxidizing agent, heating is not needed in the oxidative cyclization process, and the reaction can be performed at normal temperature. Silver carbonate hasvery high catalytic activity in the invention, and compared with the prior art, the application has the advantages of small dosage, mild reaction, effective shortening of the reaction time, simple post-treatment, and realization of separation of the catalyst from the system only through filtration of the system while the system is hot.
