The invention relates to a preparation method of an Olaparib intermediate (IV), namely, 2-fluoro-5-[(4-oxo-3,4-dihydrophthalazin-1-yl)methyl]benzoic acid. The method comprises steps as follows: 1, 2-fluoro-5-formyl benzoic acid is used as a raw material and reacts with (3-oxo-1,3-dihydro-isobenzofuran-1-yl)dialkyl phosphate to produce 2-fluoro-5-(3-oxo-3H-isobenzofuran-1-yl-methylene)benzoic acid, namely, an intermediate (V); or 2-fluoro-5-formyl benzoic acid reacts with phthalide to produce 5-(2,3-dihydro-1,3-dioxo-1H-indene-2-yl)-2-fluobenzoic acid, namely, an intermediate (VI); 2, the intermediate V or the intermediate VI reacts with hydrazine hydtaye to produce an Olaparib intermediate (IV). The preparation method is concise in process, environment-friendly, economical and suitable for the industrial key Olaparib intermediate, raw materials are easy to obtain, and purification is easy.
