The invention discloses a preparation method of 2-azabicyclo(2.2.1)hept-5-
alkene-3-
ketone, which is an intermediate for the synthesis of antiviral 
medicine carbonyl ring 
nucleoside, which is characterized in that, an 
aqueous solution prepared by 
anhydrous sodium sulfite and 
sodium bicarbonate is added to a reactor; the temperature is controlled between 0 to 60 DEG C; a fixed amount of 
methanesulfonyl chloride is added by dropping, and the temperature is maintained to react for 2 to 4 hours to prepare methyl 
sulfonate solution; a fixed amount of 
ether solvent is added to the solution, and under a temperature 
ranging from 10 to 60 DEG C, cyanogens 
chloride is added; after 4 to 6 hours reaction, cyclopentadienyl is added by dropping; the pH value of the reaction solution is controlled between 1.5 to 3 to react for 3 to 5 hours; then 
sodium hydroxide is used for regulating the pH value to 7 to 9; after standing, the 
ether solvent is separated, and a fixed amount of methyl 
chloride is used for separated extraction 2-azabicyclo(2.2.1)hept-5-
alkene-3-
ketone; the methyl 
chloride is distilled and a crude product is obtained; the crude product is decolorized by 
activated carbon and recrystallized in 
ether solvent; 2-azabicyclo(2.2.1)hept-5-
alkene-3-
ketone with a purity of more than 99.6 percent is obtained after 
drying. The preparation method has the advantages of rich 
raw material sources, low cost, simple technological process, small emission of three wastes, benefits for industrial production and other advantages.
