The invention discloses a synthesis method of cefminox sodium, which comprises the following steps: completely dissolving methoxycephalosporin (7-MAC) and dichloromethane in a reaction flask (1), and adding pyridine and carbon tetrachloride; after complete reaction, adding a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride for extracting and layering, and performing vacuum concentration on a bottom-phase organic phase; adding dichloromethane and ethanol into a reaction flask (2), and introducing hydrogen chloride gas; after complete reaction, adding the concentrated liquid in the reaction flask (1) into the reaction flask (2); after complete reaction, adding a mixed solvent for extracting and layering; performing liquid separation on the organic phase by use of the saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, and keeping the bottom-phase organic phase; adding D-cysteine into the organic phase, adjusting the pH value of the solution to 6.0-6.5, and keeping the temperature at 20-25 DEG C; after sufficient reaction, feeding ethanol, and performing sufficient crystal precipitation and vacuum drying to obtain cefminox sodium. According to the method, the reaction process causes low toxicity, the operation is safe, the quality and yield of the product are increased, and the crystal form of the product is good and easy to dry, thus the method is suitable for popularization and application in mass production.
