The invention provides an 
Idelalisib synthesis method. The method comprises steps as follows: a compound 3 is processed with 
hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst and a 
solvent, nitro is enabled to be reduced, and an amino compound II is obtained; the compound II and N-Boc protected L-2-
aminobutyric acid are subjected to condensation in the presence of alkali and a 
carboxylic acid activator or in the presence of alkali and a condensation agent, and an intermediate I is obtained; the intermediate I is subjected to a ring closing reaction in an appropriate 
solvent under the action of a hexamethyldisilazane / lewis acid catalytic 
system, and a compound 7 is obtained; the compound 7 reacts with 6-chloro-9-(2-
tetrahydropyran) 
purine in an appropriate 
solvent in the presence of an acid-binding agent, and a compound III is obtained; the compound III is subjected to 
protecting group removal with an appropriate 
reagent, and 
Idelalisib is obtained. A 
reaction path is shown in the specification. The preparation method has the advantages that the 
reaction conditions of each step are mild, the post-
processing is simple and easy to implement and the total yield is high, and the preparation method is environment-friendly and is very suitable for industrial production.
