The invention discloses a synthetic method of
thiophene-3-
ethanol. The method comprises the following steps of: adding a halogenated
hydrocarbon solvent and
ethylene glycol into a reaction kettle, dropwise adding
thionyl chloride and preserving heat for reacting; separating liquid and extracting to obtain an organic phase containing a substance shown in the specifications; adding a
ruthenium trichloride
aqueous solution and a
sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution in the presence of the halogenated
hydrocarbon solvent and dropwise adding a
sodium hypochlorite aqueous solution; after detecting that a
system does not have oxidizing property, performing liquid separation, concentration,
devitrification and
drying to obtain a substance shown in the specifications, adding an ester
solvent and
butyl lithium into a reaction kettle, adding a prepared ester solution of tribromothiofuran and a prepared ester solution of the substance, separating the liquid and extracting to obtain a
system containing a substance shown in the specifications; and adding a dilute
sulfuric acid into the
system containing the substance shown in the specifications, concentrating, neutralizing, extracting and concentrating to obtain an end product. The method has the advantages of high reaction purity and yield, stable process condition, easiness for operation and
mass production capability; and the
thiophene-3-
ethanol is prepared from tribromothiofuran by performing low-temperature lithiation, so that the use of
epoxy ethane serving as an explosive
hazard is avoided, and
mass production becomes possible.
