The invention discloses a preparation method of 5-bromo-1,3-dichloro-2-fluorobenzene, which comprises the following steps: (1) simultaneously feeding ammonium salt and a sodium nitrite aqueous solution into a tubular reactor for tubular diazotization reaction so as to obtain a diazonium salt intermediate, wherein the ammonium salt is prepared through dissolving 3,5-dichloro-4-fluoroaniline in sulfuric acid; (2) dissolving cuprous bromide in hydrobromic acid, heating to 100-130 DEG C, dropwise adding the diazonium salt intermediate prepared in the step (1) for reaction, and after the complete reaction, performing after-treatment to obtain the 5-bromo-1,3-dichloro-2-fluorobenzene. According to the preparation method, the tubular diazotization reaction technology is adopted to prepare diazonium salt, so that the side reaction including diazonium salt coupling and decomposition and the like can be reduced, the diazotization reaction is enabled to be more stable, and the final yield is improved; in addition, the tubular diazotization reaction technology has a series of advantages of continuity in production, safety, short reaction time, energy saving and the like, and is relatively suitable for industrial production in the future.
