The invention discloses a method for synthesizing an alpha-brominated aromatic ketones compound. The method comprises the following steps: taking an aromatic ketones compound as a substrate, hydrogen bromide as a brominating agent, copper nitrate as a catalyst, oxygen or air as an oxidizing agent and water as a solvent; performing brominating reaction at 25-100 DEG C; and after finishing the reaction, post-processing the reaction solution, thereby obtaining the alpha-brominated aromatic ketones compound. According to the method, water is taken as the solvent, so that the pollution and harm to the environment during a producing, recycling or discharging process caused by an organic solvent are avoided; the method is an environment-friendly green synthesizing technology; the hydrogen bromide is taken as the brominating agent, so that the operation is conveniently and easily controlled, the final reaction products are only alpha-bromoketone and water, no other harmful matter is generated and the defects of the prior art are eliminated; the oxygen or air is taken as the oxidizing agent, so that the price is low and the oxidizing agent is easily obtained; and the method provided by the invention is characterized by convenience in operation, safety, environmental protection, low cost, high economic benefit, and the like, and belongs to a green chemical technology.
