A method for preparing a fluralana intermediate, provided by the invention, comprises the following steps: carrying out nucleophilic addition reaction on 1-(3, 5-dichlorophenyl)-2, 2, 2-trifluoroethanone, carrying out acidolysis, reacting with a Grignard reagent, carrying out oxidation, carrying out oxidation cyclization reaction, reacting with hydroxyl(toluenesulfonyloxy)benzene iodide, and reacting with a trimethoxyphosphorus solution to finally generate the fluralan. In the preparation process, a catalyst and dimethoxy zinc are not needed, ultralow-temperature reaction conditions of -78 DEG C are not needed, operation is easy and convenient, meanwhile, reagents such as ozone and dimethyl sulfide which are harmful to the environment are replaced, and the method is more environmentally friendly. The invention also provides the intermediate for preparing the fluralan.
