The invention relates to a method for preparing saturated poly-chloralkane in the technical field of industrial organic chemical. The method comprises the steps as follows: 1, 1, 1, 1, 3-tetrachloropropane, inert organic solvent, a catalyst and a chlorinating agent are used as raw materials to prepare 1, 1, 1, 3, 3-pentachloropropane reaction liquid which is washed by reducing saturated aqueous solution; and solvent is distilled and recovered to prepared a pure product of 1, 1, 1, 3, 3-pentachloropropane. Compared with the prior art, the invention has the advantages of less investment on equipment, simple and easy operation, and being fit for mass production, etc. 1, 1, 1, 3, 3-pentafluoropropane (HFC-245fa for short) prepared from the 1, 1, 1, 3, 3-tetrachloropropane can be widely applied to the fields of solvent, cleaning, frothing, refrigerating, gaseous propellant and the like and has very high industrial value.
