The invention discloses a dynamic kinetic resolution method for 1-(1-naphthyl) ethylamine, which comprises the following steps of: firstly, adding parachlorophenol, organic acid, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and 4-dimethylaminopyridine, carrying out agitating reaction and filtering, drying, concentrating and carrying out column chromatography to obtain an acyl donor; or adding acetophenone and sodium borohydride, carrying out agitating reaction, depressurizing and distilling, washing, extracting, drying and concentrating to obtain phenethyl alcohol, adding the phenethyl alcohol, acetyl chloride and triethylamine, carrying out agitating reaction and washing, drying, concentrating and carrying out column chromatography to obtain an acyl donor; secondly, adding palladium salt and a carrier, heating, adding formaldehyde and sodium hydroxide, heating and centrifuging, washing and vacuum-drying to obtain a racemic catalyst for standby; and thirdly, adding the 1-(1-naphthyl) ethylamine in methyl benzene, the acyl donor, lipase and the racemic catalyst and carrying out hydrogenation reaction to obtain amide. The dynamic kinetic resolution method has high reaction speed, lower temperature, high conversion rate and product optical purity and great application value.
