The invention provides a preparation method of 2,4,6-trifluorobenzylamine. The preparation method comprises the following steps: S1, by taking pentachloro benzonitrile as a starting material, adding the pentachloro benzonitrile into anhydrous potassium fluoride for fluorination reaction in a first organic solvent, thus obtaining 3,5-dichloro-2,4,6-trifluoro-cyanophenyl; S2a, adding the 3,5-dichloro-2,4,6-trifluoro-cyanophenyl prepared in the step S1 into a second organic solvent, adding organic alkali, feeding hydrogen, and carrying out dehydrochlorination reaction under the action of a firstcatalyst, thus obtaining 2,4,6-trifluoro-cyanophenyl serving as an intermediate; S3, adding the 2,4,6-trifluoro-cyanophenyl prepared in the step S2a into a third organic solvent, adding acid, feedinghydrogen, and reducing the 2,4,6-trifluoro-cyanophenyl serving as the intermediate through a cyanogroup under the action of a second catalyst, thus obtaining 2,4,6-trifluorobenzylamine. By the adoption of the technical scheme, the preparation method has the advantages that steps of a synthesis route are simple and short, conditions are mild, operation is simple and convenient, the raw materials are low in cost and readily available, and the production cost is low; the catalysts and solvents can be recycled for use, so that pollution is reduced; the preparation method is environmentally friendly and suitable for industrial large-scale production.
