The invention relates to the technical field of 
natural medicine extraction, and particularly discloses a method for separating 
phorbol by utilizing an ultrasonic-assisted alcoholysis-extraction 
coupling technology. The method comprises the following steps: S1, uniformly mixing 1 part of 
croton oil with 5-25 parts of a saturated alkaline alcoholic solution according to a volume ratio of feed liquid, carrying out alcoholysis-extraction under the action of ultrasonic 
waves, and carrying out standing separation to obtain an alkaline supernatant containing 
phorbol and a 
croton oil lower phase liquid; and S2, adjusting the pH value of the obtained alkaline supernatant to be neutral by using an acidic 
alcohol solution, and removing the obtained precipitate to obtain a neutral 
alcohol solution containing the 
phorbol. The ultrasonic-assisted alcoholysis-extraction 
coupling technology is used for extracting the phorbol from the 
croton oil, alcoholysis and extraction are carried out synchronously, and alcoholysis-extraction 
coupling is carried out, so the alcoholysis efficiency is improved advantageously, alcoholysis-extraction is fast and efficient under the assistance of ultrasonic 
waves,time is saved, and the purity of the phorbol is improved. The method has the advantages of few operation steps, short time consumption, low 
solvent consumption and easiness in promotion and application.
