The invention provides a method for synthesizing vinylacetylene through acetylene dimerization by aiming at the problems that in the prior art, the process for synthesizing vinylacetylene through acetylene dimerization is complicated, the production cost is too high, the single process conversion rate of the acetylene and the selectivity of the vinylacetylene are not high, and the like. According to the method, cuprous chloride is adopted as major catalysts, urea is adopted as cocatalysts, ammonium chloride is adopted as cosolvents, water is adopted as solvents, hydrochloric acid provides acid environment required by the reaction, and the reaction temperature is 70 to 90 DEG C, wherein in 45L water, the addition of the cuprous chloride is 0.30kmol, the addition of the urea is 0.06kmol to 0.14 kmol, the addition of ammonium chloride is 0.18kmol to 0.42kmol, and the addition of the hydrochloric acid is 0.3L. The dissolution of the ammonium chloride and the cuprous chloride is accelerated, the operation time before the reaction is shortened, the generation of high polymers is inhibited, the condition of air path blockage caused by polymers is avoided, and the method belongs to a novel, efficient, stable, environment-friendly and economic synthesis method.
