The invention discloses a new method for preparing high-purity hydroxytyrosol, which belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical chemical synthesis. The specific steps of the method are: uniformly mixing lithium aluminum hydride with a solvent, and then adding 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid in batches Carry out the reaction, place the reaction solution at 0°C after the reaction is completed, slowly add water and hydrochloric acid solution dropwise, extract with ethyl acetate after dropping, combine the organic phases, wash with aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, and dry over anhydrous magnesium sulfate After that, the salt was removed by suction filtration, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain a light yellow oily substance which was hydroxytyrosol. The beneficial effects are: the raw materials of the new preparation method of the present invention are easy to obtain, the cost is low, the operation is simple, and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid can be reduced to hydroxytyrosol in one step, the reaction rate is fast, the yield of the target product is high, and no column chromatography is required Purification can produce high-purity hydroxytyrosol, which is suitable for industrial production.
