The invention discloses a method for synthesizing 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-4-methoxymethyl benzyl alcohol through 1,4-di(methoxymethyl)-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene and belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis. The method comprises the following steps: taking the 1,4-di(methoxymethyl)-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene to react in a mixed solution composed of a sulfuric acid water solution and organiccarboxylic acid; carrying out ester group hydrolysis reaction on an obtained mixture under the action of inorganic alkali; carrying out methylation reaction of hydroxyl under the action of the inorganic alkali; finally, separating and purifying to obtain the 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-4-methoxymethyl benzyl alcohol and recycling the 1,4-di(methoxymethyl)-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene. According to the method provided by the invention, resource utilization of the low-value 1,4-di(methoxymethyl)-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene is realized; meanwhile, the method has the advantages of cheap and easy-to-obtain reaction reagents, moderate reaction conditions, simplicity in operation, high synthesis yield, good product quality and the like, and has very high social and economic value.
