The invention relates to a catalyst used for producing promoter N-t-butyl benzothiazole sulfonamide and its preparation method, the catalyst is one or more metal salt of copper acetate, copper sulphate, cupric nitrate, cobaltous acetate, rose vitriol, oleic acid cobalt, cobalt nitrate, acetic acid cerium, sulfuric acid cerium, cerium nitrate, manganese acetate, manganese sulfate, manganous nitrate and the like. A carrier of the catalyst is one or more of SiO2, Al2O3, TiO2, medium-pore material molecular sieve, microporous material molecular sieve and the like. The prepared catalyst is used for synthesizing TBBS by using an oxygen oxidation process, the reaction is used for characterizing the performance of the catalyst. The catalyst amount accounts for 0.02-0.1% of weight of the reactant. The invention has the advantages that the catalyst formula is reasonable, an active ingredient and the carrier are contained, the amount is small and the catalysis effect is good, and the catalyst is capable of increasing the disperse area of the active ingredient to increase the contact area of the active ingredient and the reactant, raising the reaction speed and simultaneously reducing the catalyst amount. The catalyst enables more than 97% of yield of TBBS by optimizing the reaction condition.
