The invention discloses a method for synthesizing 7-bromo-6-chloro-4-quinazolinone. The method comprises the following steps of: (1) dripping liquid bromine into suspension of m-chlorotoluene, n-butyl bromide and anhydrous ferric trichloride, washing with water and a saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, distilling, and recrystallizing; (2) mixing water, pyridine, tertiary butanol and the like, dissolving a product in the step (1) and potassium permanganate in a mixed solution, heating and refluxing, continuously adding potassium permanganate, filtering, washing with boiling water, regulating the pH value, cooling and filtering; (3) dissolving a product in the step (2) in a mixed solution of stronger ammonia water and ethyl acetate at room temperature under the protection of nitrogen, dripping into suspension of cuprous oxide and stronger ammonia water, adding ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), regulating the pH value, evaporating the ethyl acetate, cooling, and performing suction filtration; and (4) mixing a product in the step (3) and formamide, dissolving in dimethyl formamide (DMF), heating and refluxing, cooling, precipitating, filtering, washing with absolute ethanol, and recrystallizing by using ethylene glycol monomethyl ether. The method has the advantages of cheap raw materials, simplified steps and practicable process, avoids 6-bromoisatin, and is suitable for industrial production.
