The invention discloses a synthetic method of 2,6 dihydroxy naphthalene, which comprises the following steps: placing 2,6 dihydroxy naphthalene in an alkali fusion pan, then a mixture of solid sodium hydroxide and nitrate is placed, Slowly heating to 150-170 DEG C, stirring, continuously heating to 320 DEG C, insulating for fusing alkali for 2.5-3.5 hours at 310-330 DEG C, then cooling to 200 DEG C, slowly dropping 450g of water for diluting, using a tri(octyl-decyl)amine solution for extracting 2,6-dihydroxy naphthalene, then acidifying the extracted 2, 6-dihydroxy naphthalene by sulfuric acid, and filtering and refining filter cake by an ethanol water mixed solvent to obtain 2,6-dihydroxy naphthalene. According to the synthetic method of 2,6-dihydroxy naphthalene, the used inorganic solvent is a mixture of potassium nitrate, sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate. According to the invention, viscosity of an alkali fusion material is low, fluidity is good, material can be uniformly mixed, and alkali fusion effect is good. In addition, under high temperature condition for alkali fusion, no decomposition problem of oxidation organic matter is generated, and no difficult separating problem is generated for the mixture.
