The invention discloses a method for synthesizing an important intermediate 4-amino-3-(4-phenoxy-phenyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine of Ibrutinib. The method comprises the following steps: step one, condensing malononitrile and triethyl orthoformate and then carrying out a one-pot reaction with hydrazine hydrate to obtain 5-amino-4-cyano-pyrazole; step two, condensing the 5-amino-4-cyano-pyrazole with formamide to prepare a compound of formula (II) 4-amino-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine; step three, carrying out a bromination reaction of the compound of formula (II) and brominating agent to obtain a compound of formula (III) 4-amino-3-bromine-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine; step four, carrying out a Stille reaction on the compound of formula (III) and trimethyl p-phenoxy phenyltin under the catalyst effect of metal palladium to prepare a compound of formula (I) 4-amino-3-(4-phenoxy-phenyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine. According to the method for synthesizing the important intermediate 4-amino-3-(4-phenoxy-phenyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine of Ibrutinib provided by the invention, raw materials are low in price and easily obtained, the reaction conditions are moderate, the operation is simple and convenient, the method is suitable for industrial production, and a new way is provided for preparing Ibrutinib and intermediate.
