The invention discloses an environment-friendly bionic catalytic nitration method for a phenolic compound and belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis. The method provided by the invention comprises the steps of dissolving the phenolic compound, which serves as a raw material, in a solvent at normal temperature, adding sodium nitrite into the solution, then, dropwise adding hydrogen peroxide into the reaction solution, adding metal-doped Al-MCM-41 molecular sieves into the reaction solution at normal temperature so as to start a reaction, carrying out stirring so as to carry out a nitration reaction, and then, carrying out suction filtration, organic solvent extraction, depressurized concentration and column chromatography separation, thereby obtaining a target product. According to the nitration method disclosed by the invention, the reaction conditions are mild, heating is not required, the operation is convenient, and the product is easy to treat. The nitration method is applicable to an environment-friendly bionic catalytic nitration reaction for phenolic compounds.
