The invention discloses a preparation method of a silodosin intermediate. The preparation method comprises the following steps that in an organic solvent, under the action of lewis acid, friedel-crafts acylation reaction occurs between a compound 2 and a compound 3, so as to obtain a compound 4, wherein the lewis acid is one of or more of zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate, bismuth trifluoromethanesulfonate, scandium trifluoromethanesulfonate and aluminum trichloride; under the action of organic acid or boron trifluoride ether complex, the compound 4 reacts with triethyl silicane, so as to obtain a compound 5; the compound 5 reacts with sodium azide, so as to obtain a compound 6; under the action of catalysts, the compound 6 reacts with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate ester and hydrogen, so as to obtain a compound 7; under an acidic condition, the deamination protective reaction of the compound 7 occurs, so as to obtain a compound 8; the compound 8 reacts with L-tartaric acid, so as to obtain a compound 1, namely the silodosin intermediate. The preparation method of the silodosin intermediate has the advantages of simplicity, economy and mild reaction conditions, and chiral resolution is not needed.
