The invention provides a water-based alkyd resin synthesis technique, relating to the technical field of chemical industry. The technique comprises the following steps: selecting a four-neck flask as a reactor, adding bean oil acid, benzoic acid, pentaerythritol, phthalic anhydride, 2,2-dimethylolpropionic acid and reflux xylene into the four-neck flask, introducing carbon dioxide gas to replace air inside, heating, keeping the temperature to perform esterification reaction, vacuumizing, removing the reflux xylene inside, adding maleic anhydride oil, carrying out thermal-insulation reaction, introducing triethylamine to perform neutralization reaction, adding deionized water, and stirring to obtain the water-based alkyd resin finished product. The technique has the advantages of convenient and simple preparation process, environment friendliness, no pollution, accessible raw materials, low equipment investment and pure quality, and is convenient for operation; and the prepared water-based alkyd resin has the advantages of favorable use effect, high safety, no toxicity, long storage time, low manufacturing cost and high safety and reliability.
