The invention provides a synthesis method for a key intermediate, analogue or salt of ticlopidine. The synthesis method comprises the following steps of: (1) adding 6-nitro-2,3-dichlorobenzaldehyde and glycine or corresponding substituted glycine into a solution and adding a reducing agent to completely react to obtain N-(6-nitro-2,3-dichlorobenzyl) glycine and an analogue thereof; and (2) completely reacting the N-(6-nitro-2,3-dichlorobenzyl) glycine and the analogue thereof under the action of a catalyst to obtain the key intermediate, analogue or salt of the ticlopidine, wherein the solution in the step (1) is a mixed solution of a protic solvent and an inorganic base, and the reducing agent is one or a mixture of sodium borohydride, potassium borohydride, lithium borohydride, sodium cyanoborohydride and acetic sodium borohydride. The method is simple in operation, mild and easily-controlled in condition, convenient for aftertreatment, environment-friendly and higher in yield, and is a brand new efficient industrial synthesis method for the key intermediate, analogue or salt of the ticlopidine.
