A synthetic method of an Oxazolam drug intermediate 2-amino-5-chlorobenzophenone comprises the following steps: adding 3.51-3.55mol of benzamide into a reaction container provided with a stirrer, a thermometer and a reflux condenser, rising the temperature of a solution to 120-123 DEG C, dropwise adding 1.41mol of p-chloroaniline, after adding, slowly rising the temperature to 190-195 DEG C, adding 5.5-5.9 mol of stannous chloride, rising the temperature of a solution to 240-250 DEG C, reacting for 3-4h at the temperature until no gas is generated, reducing the temperature of a solution to 90-95 DEG C, adding 500ml of a potassium chloride solution, rising the temperature of a solution to 130 DEG C, performing backflow, pouring out a water layer after 3-4h, cooling a solution, then separating out a dark suspended matter, adding the suspended matter into 2.5L of a phosphoric acid solution, performing backflow for 20-23h, cooling, then pouring a solution into 1200ml of a sodium nitrate solution, reducing the temperature of a solution to 5-8 DEG C, adding cyclohexane for extraction, adding 300ml of a sodium sulfite solution in a cyclohexane layer, performing reduced pressure distillation, adding acetonitrile and extracting for 5-7 times, separating out a solid, filtering, and dehydrating by a dehydrating agent, thus obtaining the yellow crystal 2-amino-5-chlorobenzophenone.
