The invention discloses a dibenzo[c,e]azepine derivative and a preparation method thereof. The derivative is prepared by using [1,1'-biphenyl]-2,2'-dinitrile and an aryl boronic acid as reactants; thereagents are easy to prepare, have relatively wide sources, relatively low cost, and relatively low toxicity, and is not easy to affect human health. The reaction is performed in a solvent, and the solvent is any one of toluene, xylene, methanol, tetrahydrofuran, N,N-dimethylformamide, and N,N-dimethylacetamide. When the reaction is carried out, a palladium catalyst and an acid promoter are added, wherein the palladium catalyst is any one of palladium trifluoroacetate, tetrakis(triphenylphosphine) palladium, diacetylacetone palladium, bis(dibenzylideneacetone) palladium, and tris(dibenzylideneacetone) dipalladium. A reaction temperature is 100-120 DEG C, a reaction time is 20-30 h, and reaction conditions are mild, easy to reach, and safe. The method can directly synthesize a target product without separating intermediate products, and the yield can be up to 95%.
