The invention belongs to the technical field of valsartan intermediate synthetic product treatment, and particularly relates to a sodium bromide application experimental method. The method comprises the following steps: adding raw materials into a reaction kettle according to the weight ratio of sartan biphenyl, AIBN (azodiisobutyronitrile), sodium bromide, concentrated sulfuric acid, dichloromethane, drinking water and hydrogen peroxide, heating the reaction kettle, and dropwise adding hydrogen peroxide; after hydrogen peroxide is added, carrying out the heat preservation; when liquid becomes colorless and transparent, stopping heating, and carrying out the heat preservation; carrying out cooling, standing and layering; after liquid layering, taking out an organic layer and washing the organic layer; performing concentration after water washing, adding ethyl acetate into concentrated liquid, carrying out the crystallization, obtaining bromo-sartan biphenyl (4'-bromomethyl-2-cyanobiphenyl), and achieving the recycling of the bromine element, wherein the bromo-sartan biphenyl (4'-bromomethyl-2-cyanobiphenyl) obtained after recycling can be continuously used for valsartan intermediate N-[(2'-cyanobiphenyl-4-yl) methyl]-L-valine methyl ester hydrochloride, and therefore internal circulation of bromine is achieved, the cost is reduced, and environment-friendly emission is reduced.
