The invention relates to the technical field of drug synthesis, and discloses a preparation method of norepinephrine bitartrate, which comprises the following steps of S1, taking chloroacetyl catecholas an initial raw material, carrying out a coupling reaction with dibenzylamine in a reaction solvent to obtain 2-(diphenylmethylamino)-3', 4' dihydroxyacetophenone hydrochloride, S2, carrying out hydrogenation catalysis on the 2-(diphenylmethylamino)-3', 4' dihydroxyacetophenone hydrochloride to reduce in the solvent to obtain racemic norepinephrine, S3, enabling racemic norepinephrine to be subjected to D-tartaric acid resolution in an alcohol-water solution, and acquiring L-norepinephrine D-tartrate, and S4, neutralizing the L-norepinephrine D-tartrate in water by alkali to obtain L-norepinephrine. Compared with the existing preparation method, the preparation method disclosed by the invention has the advantages that easily available starting materials are used, good reproducibility ofa synthetic route is ensured, unit operation is simple, economic accounting is realized, each step of reaction is easy to purify, the quality is controllable, and the reaction yield is greatly improved.
