The invention discloses an N, N'-(4-ethyoxyl carbonyl phenyl)-N'-benzyl formamidine preparation method, and belongs to the technical field of benzyl formamidine compound preparation, wherein N, N'-(4-ethyoxyl carbonyl phenyl)-N'-benzyl formamidine is mainly used for an ultraviolet light absorber. According to the N, N'-(4-ethyoxyl carbonyl phenyl)-N'-benzyl formamidine preparation method, ethyl p-aminobenzoate is used as the raw material, and the ethyl p-aminobenzoate is subjected to a synthetic route including formylation, condensation and N-alkylation to prepare the N, N'-(4-ethyoxyl carbonyl phenyl)-N'-benzyl formamidine product. The N, N'-(4-ethyoxyl carbonyl phenyl)-N'-benzyl formamidine preparation method has the remarkable advantages that the time for the overall reaction process is shortened, the total yield is increased, the cost is reduced because filtrate in an aftertreatment process of the formylation reaction and the condensation reaction can be recycled and reused, the yield of final products can be stabilized between 65% and 70%, and the preparation method is beneficial to industrial production.
