The invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical synthesis and specifically relates to a preparation method of sarpogrelate hydrochloride photodegradation impurities. According to the preparation method, salicylaldehyde is used as a raw material to prepare a degradation impurity II by three steps of a substitution reaction, an addition reaction and an esterification reaction, etc., and a crude product undergoes column chromatography isolation such that purity reaches more than 99%; 2-[2-(3-methoxyphenyl)ethylene]phenol is used as a raw material to prepare a sarpogrelate hydrochloride impurity III by five steps of a substitution reaction, an addition reaction, an esterification reaction, an epoxidation reaction and a reduction reaction, etc., and a crude product undergoes column chromatography isolation such that purity reaches more than 99%; and [[2-[2-(3-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]phenoxyl]methyl]oxirane is used as a raw material to prepare a sarpogrelate hydrochloride gradation impurity IV by four steps of an addition reaction, amino protection, an esterification reaction and deprotection, etc., and a crude product undergoes column chromatography isolation such that purity reaches more than 99%. The preparation method is simple to operate, and reactions are mild. Product purity is high. The preparation method is suitable for impurity spectrum analysis. By the preparation method, overall yield is high.
