The invention discloses a method for preparing a flurbiprofen axetil compound. The method comprises the following steps: adding 1.0mol of 2-fluoro-alpha-methyl(1,1'-diphenyl)-4-acetic acid and 1L of solvent in a reaction container, stirring and heating to 70-75 DEG C, reacting for 2h, cooling to 20 DEG C, dropping 1.5-1.7mol of 1-bromoethyl acetate, reacting for 5h, and cooling; adding ethyl acetate and water, then separating out the organic phase, washing with water, washing with a saturated sodium carbonate solution, then washing with water, and finally washing with saturated salt water; and carrying out rotary evaporation on the organic phase to be dry, and vacuumizing to remove the solvent and obtain a crude product; and then dissolving the crude product with an organic solvent, adding silica gel and activated carbon, heating to reflux for 20-40min, cooling, performing suction filtering, and vacuumizing to obtain flurbiprofen axetil, wherein the solvent is N, N-dimethylformamide or potassium carbonate; and the organic solvent is a mixture of an ester solvent and an ether solvent, the volume ratio of the ester solvent to the ether solvent is 1:(5-30) and the addition amount of the organic solvent is 1-2 times that the mass of the crude product. By adopting the preparation method of the flurbiprofen axetil compound, the problems of the existing purification method can be well solved; the method has low cost, simpleness in operations and good product quality; and the quality of the product obtained through the experiment is higher than the import standard.
